Goodbye silicone.
. Lattice Medical and Healshape, two companies from France, and CollPlant from Israel have developed 3D-printed models in this direction and they come with multiple benefits when compared to the methods used today.“The whole implant is fully degradable,” says Julien Payen, CEO of Lattice Medical, “so after 18 months, you don’t have any product in your body.” The first human trial of Lattice Medical’s Mattisse implant is scheduled for the 11th of July in Georgia.
This is good news for those who suffer from the icy feeling that comes from silicone implants in cold weather. “It’s exciting,” says Stephanie Willerth, a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Victoria, Canada, who is not related to the firms. “As engineers, we’ve been playing with 3D printing for half a decade,” but having a clinical application that physicians see as helpful for patients is essential to spreading the technology, she adds.
These new technologies may replace silicones from breast reconstruction operations if they prove to be safe and they may lead to the eradication of the constraints that come with silicones.Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
