The invention of the Romanian researchers - an orthopedic device for correcting the defect of Talipes Calcaneus / Talipes Calcaneovalgus - will soon become, upon certification, a real support for the health of newborns.
The inventors of this revolutionary equipment are Mihnea Costoiu, rector of UPB, Professor Dr. Catalin Carstoiu, dean of the Faculty of Medicine within UMF "Carol Davila", Professor Dr. Cristian Doicin, dean of the Faculty of Industrial and Robotics Engineering (FIIR) within UPB, Professor Dr. Augustin Semenescu, vice-dean of the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering-UPB, associate professor Dr. Mihaela Ulmeanu within FIIR-UPB, Cristina Doicin - student of the Faculty of Medicine within UMF "Carol Davila" and Mariana Mates from the Central Military Hospital Bucharest.
The orthopedic defect correction device Talipes calcaneus / Talipes calcaneovalgus consists of a fixed subassembly, which is fixed to the foot leg, a movable subassembly, which is attached to the foot of the defective foot, a worm gear - worm wheel and a measuring cover, which is fixed with screws.
In the proposed construction, the orthopedic device corrects the defect of Talipes calcaneus / Talipes calcaneovalgus without the need for plastering or surgery.
A number of 16 universities, 16 national research institutes, 10 companies and 5 individual Romanian inventors participated in EuroInvent.
