In situ bioprinter
The first Russian In situ bioprinter for printing in the wound bed is a robotic complex for studying surface damage to restore tissues and organs directly in the patient's body. The in situ bioprinter is suitable for biomedical research in the field of tissue engineering in the laboratory.
The bioprinter works with various types of hydrogels (including collagen of the first type) with the addition of cells, growth factors, etc. The printing time depends on the size of the defect and takes about 5 minutes on average.
The device complex consists of a 6-axis robot, a 3D scanner and a biomaterial dispenser. The printing process includes scanning, tracing, and applying the material.
Currently, the In situ bioprinter is at the stage of obtaining a medical device registration certificate for subsequent use in clinical practice.
Improved wound healing dynamics strongly suggest that in situ bioprinting can be used as a new successful therapeutic method for the treatment of soft tissue defects.
Significant advantages:
● Performs bioprinting even on a dynamically changing surface (optional: adaptation to micro-movements or breathing of the patient)
● Versatile in the use of different types of hydrogels (both sodium alginate and collagen; with and without cells, etc.)
An important feature of the In situ bioprinter is that the bioprinter is suitable for various industries and can act as a "classic" 3D printer.
