Clinicians Building Tracheas Using Off-The-Shelf 3D Printers (VIDEO)
Clinicians Building Tracheas Using Off-The-Shelf 3D Printers (VIDEO)
 While 3D printing has already been used to create entire body parts, Printers that can extrude living cells are still very expensive. Clinical researchers at the*Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, NY, a part of **rth Shore-LIJ Health System, have partnered with folks from MakerBot to use Off-The-Shelf 3D Printers to create personalized functional Tracheas for needy patients. The team decided to try Using MakerBot’s standard PLA Filament, a*resin made from sugar corn, as a scaffold to grow the cartilage tissue. The team built a bunch of windpipe models, taking them to***rth Shore-LIJ surgeons that specialize in trachea surgeries for evaluation. After repeated changes and modifications, they had created more than 100 versions of the trachea within about a month. Because the printing process involves heating up the PLA Filament, it automatically comes out sterilized and ready for the next step Pressing forward, they used a modified MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D printer that has two extruders to apply a “bio-ink” full of living cells onto the scaffold. Placing the resulting trachea into a bioreactor allows it to promote cellular growth over the scaffold in preparation for implantation. Here’s a video about the project: Flashbacks:*Artificial Windpipe Seeded With Patient’s Stem Cells Implanted for First Time…;*World’s First Artificial Trachea Transplant Patient Gets Successor…;*First Artificial Trachea Implants Breathe Life into Tissue Engineering…;*Surgically Implanted 3D-Printed Tracheal Splint Saves Baby’s Life… More from MakerBot: A New Frontier in Tracheal Repair Press release: Using 3D Printing, MakerBot and The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research Create Cartilage to Repair Tracheal Damage… The post Clinicians Building Tracheas Using Off-The-Shelf 3D Printers (VIDEO) appeared first on Medgadget. ??????? ??????: Clinicians Building Tracheas Using Off-The-Shelf 3D Printers (VIDEO) || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
