The Ural Instrument-engineering Plant, part of the Radioelectronic Technologies concern, is poised to become a key participant in the Ural Interregional World-class Research and Educational Center in the near future.
Currently, the plant, which operates under the Rostec umbrella, is actively engaged in projects with Ural Federal University (UrFU) in the field of medical instrumentation. Notably, with the collaboration of UrFU scientists, the “Mobivent Oxy” mechanical ventilator has been developed. This device is designed for treating patients with chronic respiratory and cardiovascular conditions characterized by insufficient oxygen saturation in the blood. Recently, clinical trials for the device were completed. Following the issuance of its registration certificate by Roszdravnadzor, “Mobivent Oxy” will enter mass production, replacing foreign ventilators of this class in the Russian market.
“We are all working towards a common goal—achieving technological sovereignty for our country. By uniting the efforts of corporate enterprises, universities, and research institutes, we can not only reach this objective but also foster an environment conducive to developing new projects. Yekaterinburg has a strong industrial and scientific foundation. Rostec enterprises—such as the Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant named after E.S. Yalamov, part of the Schwabe holding, and the Ural Instrument-engineering Plant—are actively enhancing scientific collaboration with universities. Our developments are being pursued both within the framework of the Ural Interregional Research and Educational Center and with its lead organization, UrFU named after B.N. Yeltsin,” noted Elena Druzhinina, Managing Director for Science and Business Cooperation at Rostec.
It’s worth mentioning that UrFU serves as the lead organization for the Ural Interregional Scientific and Educational Center for Advanced Production Technologies and Materials. Currently, the Center boasts a portfolio of 57 technological projects. “We are extremely interested in strengthening our relationships with industry. This includes addressing the demand for skilled labor, actively participating in the development of new high-tech products and technologies, and effectively enhancing our own competencies. Strengthening UrFU’s collaboration with such a powerful industrial corporation as Rostec undoubtedly holds great promise,” stated Victor Koksharov, Rector of UrFU.
