3.9.1 Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram

The Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) is an institute of national importance under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. In the last few decades, several medical device technologies developed here have been transferred to industrial partners for manufacture and commercialisation—including the Chitra heart valve, a process for preparation of extracellular matrix scaffolds from mammalian cholecyst/jejunum/urinary bladder, a rapid urinary tract infection diagnostic kit with antibiotic sensitivity test, a fibrin sealant, a vein viewer, and warmers of IV/blood fluid (see Fig. 3.10).
