Will 3D Printable Tissue Adhesives Replace Stitches and Clips?

8. 5. 2024 Source:

3D printing technology is slowly making its way into more and more areas of healthcare. In February 2024, a scientific team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a study in the journal Nature Communications focusing on the possibilities of 3D printing tissue adhesives and personalized patches with adjustable internal structures. These could therefore become a suitable alternative to the traditional surgical sutures and clips used for joining tissues.
