Deutsche Gesellschaft für Implantatforschung und EntwicklungMedical implants significantly improve the quality of life for many people – for example, through heart valve, hip, vascular, dental, or breast implants. They can treat diseases, increase mobility, and make everyday life easier, for instance, with dialysis.

At the same time, there is still a significant need for development in implant research. Depending on the type of implant and its location, complications can occur that cause long hospital stays, considerable personal suffering, or, in severe cases, even death. As more implants are expected to be used in the future due to medical progress, demographic change, and increasing demand, the number of such complications is also likely to rise.

To limit this trend, new and sustainable solutions for the prevention, early detection, and treatment of implant-related complications are urgently needed. This is important not only from a medical and ethical perspective but also to reduce the burden on healthcare systems.

This is exactly where DGIFE comes in!

The German Society for Implant Research and Development (DGIFE) was founded to offer a common nationwide platform for all individuals and institutions involved in the development and application of medical implants.

DGIFE aims to...

- network,
- inform,
- moderate,
- provoke scientific discourse to achieve consensus, and
- promote future-oriented, modern, and sustainable implant research and development!

For this reason, we need you, as...

- individual clinician and scientist,
- research institution,
- medical, pharmacological, natural science, and technical scientific professional society,
- industry,
- payers,
- institutions evaluating and approving implants,
- third-party funders, and
- supporters of our work.
