AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current medical technologies lack a comprehensive solution for creating patient-specific, customizable bone grafts with enhanced osteointegration and mechanical strength, particularly in the cranio-maxillofacial region, that can be produced through additive manufacturing and incorporate bioceramics and carbon nanostructures for improved bone regeneration.

Method used

A medical device composed of bioceramics such as tricalcium phosphate or hydroxyapatite, optionally containing carbon nanostructures and stem cells, is produced using additive manufacturing, allowing for patient-specific designs and integration with a polydioxanone membrane to enhance bone grafting and guided bone regeneration.

Benefits of technology

The device provides improved osteointegration, mechanical strength, and accelerated bone regeneration by mimicking natural bone structures, reducing surgical complications and promoting precise tissue reconstruction, while being gradually resorbed and replaced by newly formed bone tissue.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical device manufactured using the additive manufacturing process (3D printing). It is a medical device used preferably as a bone graft composed of a porous structure based on bioceramics based on β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) or hydroxyapatite, which may or not contain nanostructures in its composition, for example: carbon nanostructures (graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, etc.) and, in preferred embodiments, stem cells and polymeric membrane. Also, the present invention relates to the use of this device as a bone graft and the process of preparing this device.
