Method for 3-D printing a custom bone graft
In March of 2020, OsseoPrint 3D was a provisional patent for a process to print a custom bone graft.
The patent is for a method for producing bone grafts using 3-D printing using a 3-D image of a graft location to produce a 3-D model of the graft. This is printed using a 3-D printer and a printing medium that produces a porous, biocompatible, biodegradable material that is conducive to osteoinduction. For example, the printing medium may be PCL, PLLA, PGLA, or another approved biocompatible polymer. In addition such a method may be useful for cosmetic surgeries, reconstructive surgeries, and various techniques required by such procedures. Once the graft is placed, natural bone gradually replaces the graft.
This patent is one more step in the process toward a commercially viable aseptic 3D printer which can produce bone at the point of service.
About Osseoprint3D: Osseoprint3D was founded by dental implantologist, Dr. Arthur Greyf to address the lack of efficient surgical solutions for restoring adequate bone structure needed for placing dental implants. He and his team have optimized the process of the surgical planning, 3D modeling and aseptic 3D printing for bone grafts for dental and medical applications. These innovations bring cost efficiencies, time savings and improved clinical outcomes for patients and practitioners.
