She spoke on how such compound was imported from America at expensive rates earlier."For repairing bones, goods were imported from America, which was too costly. Now with this formula, this stuff will be available here, which will be cheaper. At the same time, this powder will develop bone very quickly. There will be no need of inserting rod etc. This powder will not have any negative effect on the body because this powder is purely synthetic.", said Uma Batra, head of the Dept. of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering and professor of Punjab Engineering College while talking to ANI.Another professor of Punjab University, Dr. Seema Kapoor said: "The method of synthesizing the mesoporous calcium orthophosphate can be scaled up to commercial scale to be manufactured by pharmaceutical industries".She also stated that the material used for the compound is absolutely safe to use and its cost will be only 15-20 per cent of the material imported from abroad.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
