Researchers at the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in Ireland have recently developed a new 3D printing method that could impact the future of wearable technology. Dr. Aswathy Babu, the head of the team, alongside Professor Suresh C. Pillai, has created…

An interdisciplinary research team led by Professor Robert Katzschmann (ETH Zurich) and Professor Omer Dzemali (University Hospital Zurich) has introduced a promising innovation in medical technology known as the “RCPatch,” a three-dimensional, tissue-integrating heart patch that not only seals defective…

According to the Spanish Society of Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery, a significant portion of the population over 60 is at high risk of developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm. When these lesions affect areas with branches leading to vital organs, treating…

Researchers at Tsinghua University recently announced that they have developed a new use for 3D printing that could potentially change how doctors study and treat forms of kidney cancer. The research team developed a way to bioprint kidney tumors directly…

Skin is the body’s first line of defense against the outside world, and when it suffers severe burns, repairing it can be a matter of life and death. Current treatments often involve transplanting a thin layer of the epidermis, the…

As we know, 3D printing has profoundly transformed the medical field, making it possible to produce customized models ranging from anatomical replicas to fully patient-specific implants. This is where the young startup Simpath comes in. Since its founding in 2023,…

After accidents that damage tendons, a patient’s mobility is often severely limited. Hand injuries, in particular, can take a long time to heal and usually only recover fully through physiotherapy. For therapy, experts are increasingly using so-called exoskeletons, which are…

3D printing, though it hasn’t yet reached its full potential, is already starting to significantly change healthcare professionals’ practices. In the medical field, where traditional methods struggle to meet the growing demand for affordable, custom-made devices, additive manufacturing offers innovative…

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an innovative medical implant that can protect people with type 1 diabetes from dangerous drops in blood sugar during emergencies, a condition known as hypoglycemia. The small 3D-printed implant contains…

This summer, the University of Texas at Austin published an exciting innovation in 3D printing, which has the potential to revolutionize the next generation of medical devices and flexible electronics. Researchers at the university, funded by the US Department of…

Our legs and feet carry us through life, allowing us to move in many different ways: walking, running, jumping, and dancing. We usually only realize how important they are for smooth, pain-free movement when health issues arise. Injuries, foot deformities…

Gone are the traditional methods of manufacturing orthoses and prostheses. 3D printing has made it possible to create these types of medical devices, making them lighter, stronger and adjustable to the specific needs of each person. Prothesia, a Mexican company,…
