Printed Cartilage Is Set To Transform

The cost of helping sufferers of arthritis is huge. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association over the past twenty years the number of knee replacement surgeries have increased by 161.5%. Each knee replacement procedure costs Medicare about $15,000 a year. That works out at a total annual bill for Medicare of $5 billion. It's a huge cost and it's one that will only continue to rise.. Luckily there may be a solution to this enormous problem. Scientists have recently revealed that they have successfully grown living cartilage using a 3D bio printer. This may one day enable doctors to "print" cartilage directly to the areas where it is needed most. It also presents a significant business opportunity for forward thinking entrepreneurs who may want to tap into this $5 billion a year market. How 3D Cartilage Replacement Works Dr. D'Lima, the head of orthopedic research at Scripps clinic, is the scientist responsible for the most recent innovations in 3D cartilage technology. Dr D'Lima has successfully modified an inkjet printer to lay down layers of a gel which contains live cells. He has also printed cartilage into patients who have needed knee replacement surgery. This procedure uses a bio printer which is capable of printing living cartilage. The bio printer produces a mixture of cartilage progenitor cells and a biocompatible liquid. This congeals when it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The bio printer is also able to print bones cells in order to attach the cartilage to the bone. The droplets containing the cell material are very small at about only one picoleter (1 billionth of a liter). Because of the small size of the droplets they are able to fill in the exact space of the bone or cartilage. This printed cartilage allows for a much tighter fit than is possible by using lab grown cartilage which is then cut to the correct size. e6Td6EmV
