A bone implant made of pudding-soft hydrogel
25 March 2026
| A novel hydrogel has been developed that feels like pudding and dissolves inside the body, enabling the creation of customized bone implants. This material mimics the processes of early bone healing and can be 3D-printed with a laser at high speed and with great precision. It also provides an optimal environment for bone-forming cells to colonize. | |
| The stated goal is for the hydrogel-based implant to one day be used in clinical settings to repair broken bones. However, there is still a long way to go. | |
