The 3D-printed bone grafts are made from a filament comprised of hydroxyapatite — a feature of the natural bone known to promote healing — as well as polycaprolactone, a “biocompatible thermoplastic” ...

A new 3D printing “glue gun” can generate bone grafts directly onto fractures, and fill-in the gaps around the site’s jagged ...

A 3D-printing-based bone repair solution that could reduce surgery times might soon find its way onto the operating table.

A research team at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed a new bone graft technique that utilizes a modified glue gun and sticks composed of a bone mineral and biodegradable composite. When ...

Over the past decade, 3D printing has gone from being a futuristic idea to a revolutionary tool. In medicine, its ability to produce custom-made, complex structures is changing the way doctors treat ...

Scientists have developed a tool made from a modified glue gun that can 3D print bone grafts directly onto fractures and ...

Alizarin red staining, highlighting sites of mineralization, in a PLAG5*20% scaffold, provides evidence of 3D macroporosity and its capacity for enhanced osteogenesis. Bone is a highly vascularized ...

The first patients in the U.S. have been treated with CMFlex, an off-the-shelf 3D-printed synthetic bone graft developed by Dimension Inx and printed using 3D-bioplotters from Desktop Metal’s ...

DALLAS -- A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur -- the longest and strongest bone in the body -- that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a ...
