Summary

A Korean R&D institute specialised in ICT Bio-healthcare has developed 3D printing technology of bio-ceramics for customized bone substitutes for skull replacement. Unlike existing particulated bone substitutes, 3D printing-based bone substitutes can be customised, resulting in shorter surgery time for doctors and faster recovery time for patients. Any organisation in need of such a technology can be a potential partner under license agreement, technical cooperation and commercial agreement wit

Description

The technologies, enabling bone substitutes to be customised by 3D printer based on patient’s physical information, are in spotlight for recovering skull damage, conducting dental implant procedure or plastic surgery. It is mainly used to produce dental prothesis and facial/skull bone reconstruction.

The bone substitutes manufactured by 3D printer simplify the entire surgery process comparing to existing particulated bone substitutes, resulting in shorter surgery time for doctors and faster recovery time for patients.

A Korean R&D institute focusing on ICT Bio-healthcare has developed 3D printing technology of bio-ceramics for customized bone substitutes for skull replacement, able to manufacture bone substitutes with higher precision and excellent compressive strength comparing to other 3D printing FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling).

The technology includes thermal treatment and sintering process to improve biocompatibility and biodegradability after photo-polymerisation of damaged skulls. It can be applied for surgical treatment such as bone defect, plastic surgery or orthopaedic surgery including transplantation and regeneration of dental bone loss, bone replacement of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial and etc.

Any companies or research institutes, engaged in medical bone substitutes can be the main partners under license agreement, technical cooperation and commercial agreement with technical assistance.

Advantages & innovations

- Shorter surgery time and faster recovery/bone formation than existing particulated bone substitutes - Manufacture high-density bio-ceramic bone substitutes using a DLP (Digital Lighting Processing) 3D printer - Higher precision and excellent compressive strength than bone substitutes manufactured by FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) - High biocompatible due to sintering using bioactive calcium phosphate materials

Stage of development

Available for demonstration

Partner sought

- As a manufacturer of dental bone substitutes, any company or institute interested in such technology can be a partner under license agreement, technical cooperation and commercial agreement with technical assistance - Any company, university or institute interested in joint R&D for developing various type of bio-ceramic bone substitutes
