Iran Ends US Eye Bio-Implants Monopoly

Local Editor


More US monopoly over technology is being broken by the Islamic Republic of Iran, which in its latest attempt succeeded in producing skin and eye bio-implants.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated the country's tenth bio-implant factory specializing in production of skin and eye bio-implants in central Qom province on Saturday.
A bio-implant is a bio-material that is surgically implanted in a person's body in order to replace the damaged tissue.

By that, Iran not only will be able to market the products at much lower rates than the US products. But also will be able to satisfy its domestic need.

Iran says the US monopoly on this technology is the main reason for high prices of bio-implant products in the global markets.
