3D-printed titanium mesh implants
Study shows how 3D printed titanium-mesh implants can be optimized for better bone regeneration Tess A collaborative research team from Harvard’s Wyss Institute, the Julius Wolff Institute, the Berlin-Brandenburg Center for Regenerative Therapies, and Charité’s Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery has come together to study the benefits of 3D printed titanium-mesh...
Custom-milled individual allogeneic bone grafts for alveolar cleft osteoplasty – A technical note
Surgeons from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany, showcase in this technical note the successful repair of an alveolar cleft using maxgraft® bonebuilder, an individualized allogeneic bone graft, in a 36-year old female patient with a 6-month-follow up showing good bony integration. Otto S et al. Today, bone grafts from...
3D printing for hearing devices
3D printing assists implantation of hearing device A Kim "In all three cases, quick identification of the appropriate [bone implant] position was accomplished," they wrote. "The transparent template enabled safe identification of the planned [bone implant] position on the temporal bone, previously localized on the 3D-printed model." AuntMinnie, 4 Dec...
Cardiopatch for heart tissue
Cardiopatch platform enables maturation and scale-up of human pluripotent stem cell-derived engineered heart tissues IY Shadrin et al. Despite increased use of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) for drug development and disease modeling studies, methods to generate large, functional heart tissues for human therapy are lacking. Here we...
Use of Collagen, PTFE and PRF Membranes in Bone Reconstruction
Use of Collagen, PTFE and PRF Membranes in Bone Reconstruction an Experimental and Histomorphometric Study Neculae et al. In the present study it can be noted that bone regeneration differs depending on the type of barrier membranes used. There is an advantage of collagen membranes compared to non-resorbable d-PTFE membranes....
BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF PLASTICS
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) presents widely adopted medical device guidelines that are aimed with a keen focus towards risk management. Biocompatibility testing for these devices and device components is addressed by ISO standard 10993. RESINATE 2017 Well-defined material characterization is a fundamental requirement in biocompatibility assessment. This...
Xenogeneic bone grafting materials
Nowadays, a variety of bone substitutes are available for the clinical user. Interestingly, these materials significantly differ regarding their raw materials or manufacturing processes. As an alternative to autologous bone tissue (autograft), which is still applied as “gold standard” due to its extensive regenerative properties, bone substitutes from other natural...
