Biopen Allows Surgeons To Draw And Repair Bones Inside Patient's Body

We have been discussing 3D printing a lot of late and well, why shouldn't we? It is ended up being the following enormous thing. As we've mentioned repeatedly; medical is the field thats picking up the most from the advancements  in innovation. We are witnessing new and improved treatment strategies, cures for diseases and implementation of technology more than ever. Our today's post is about a new gadget that employ  3D printing and will be  absolute necessary for any surgeon  soon enough.

This specific device is, no doubt called a "BioPen" and it will enable doctors to really "draw" development components and live cells right onto the injury area. This device has been developed at the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Australia and its target business are the specialists. The thought is to accelerate the recovery process by helping in the restoration of cartilages and functional bones. The working principle is straightforward; the pen makes utilization of cell material which is secured by a biopolymer, alginate, and afterward further immersed by a gel. This cell material covered by two coatings leaves the pen's tip and allows the specialist to literally draw in  and fill the damage area of the bone.
