The factory's output can be used by 100,000 patients per year.
Iran now is one of the few countries in the world which has access to the bio-implant production technology. The private sector has invested 100 billion rials (some $8.2 million) in the project.
The first bio-implant production unit in Iran was launched last year at Kish Island. Its output is exported to more than 40 countries.
An implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing biological structure.
