Developing regenerative surgery technologies through bioprinting
TECNALIA obtains grafts and regenerates semi-hard and soft tissues to solve tissue injury problems. Nowadays, treating injured tissue is preventive. TECNALIA’s aim is to contribute both to the innovation of current treatments and to the sustainability of the healthcare system. Additive biofabrication is emerging as a breakthrough technology to drive tissue regeneration.
The BIO4CURE initiative is investigating innovative techniques for automated intraoperative 4D bioprinting. It applies, at the time of surgery on the patient, new generation biomaterials as well as new bonding and curing processes to optimise the morphological properties of the material. It develops collaborative robotics algorithms with advanced trajectories to achieve a customised implant geometry (both in open and laparoscopic surgery), adapting to the characteristics of each patient.
TECNALIA’s contribution to the BIO4CURE initiative
TECNALIA’s Biomaterials and Medical Robotics Departments contribute their experience in the development of bio-inks, as well as different applications for robotic surgery based on the patient's personalised medical image.
