The process of medical device development is complex and need inputs from varied disciplines of science and technology. Hence biomedical technology and allied areas requires extensive learning.

Biomedical Technology Wing of Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences & Technology has travelled through this arena for more than thirty years now. The medical device industry being at a budding stage in India and various start ups emerging, the Institute recognises that the expertise and experience that has been gained through the years are to be shared with the medical device industry, the researchers and students.

To support the medical device industry and the start ups in enhanced learning of Biomedical Technology, the IIPC now launches a series of training programs which shall be pre-scheduled for the entire year on various selected topics.

Biomedical Technology Wing, SCTIMST: The Biomedical Technology Wing (BMT Wing) located at the Satelmond Palace at Poojappura , Trivandrum has been instrumental in establishing a medical device industry base in India by successfully developing and commercializing technologies of a number of devices and implants. Some of the commercialized technologies include blood bag, membrane oxygenator, hydrocephalus shunt, artificial heart valve, dental materials, hydroxyapatite-based materials and implants.

The broad areas of activities include: Medical Devices Design, Biomaterials Research, Biocompatibility Studies, Tissue Engineering, Product incubation and commercialization.

The Biomedical Technology Wing has implemented a quality system meeting international standard ISO/IEC 17025 and is accredited by COFRAC, France.
