Biological and Medical Glass

Biological and medical glass is an exciting field of research and development that combines medical science and glass technology. This field includes the uses of glass in multiple fields of medicine and biology, Such as medical instruments, Laboratory equipment, and advanced medical treatments.

Glass is the primary material in the manufacture of medical instruments and laboratory equipment due to its excellent properties such as transparency, strength, and steerability. With the advance of technology, scientists and engineers began to explore new uses for glass in the fields of medicine and biology, leading to the emergence of what is known as biological and medical glass.

Innovative medical tools: Glass is used in the manufacture of many innovative medical tools that help diagnose and treat diseases effectively, such as:

Bioanalytical instruments:
Include instruments such as glass test plates and glass well tubes that are used to analyze biological samples such as blood, urine, and saliva.

Medical imaging devices:
Glass is used in the lenses and windows of medical devices to direct and shine light in medical imaging devices such as medical microscopes and X-ray imaging devices.

Medical treatment devices:
Glass is used in the manufacture of advanced medical treatment devices such as glass tubes to precisely deliver medications to targeted areas of the body.

As technology advances, scientists have begun to develop new types of glass with improved properties to meet the needs of modern medicine, such as bio soluble glass. This type of glass has the ability to dissolve in the body, making it ideal for precisely delivering medications to targeted organs.
