The Next Step For the Hydrogel
The initial phase of this study was conducted using animal models. Therefore, the next logical step is to move on to human clinical trials. Their aim is to use the hydrogel to help those at risk of fractures or who need stronger bones to support dental anchors or artificial hips. According to one of Flowbon’s s researchers, Régis Gauderon, “The road to get our product approved and into the clinic is still very long. Fortunately, our motivation is strong and infallible!” If proven successful, these hydrogels could soon provide targeted treatments that work rapidly in a matter of days or weeks, instead of months or years.
