TnR 3D Printed Patient Specific Implant restores self-esteem of patients with defects in the cranio-maxillo-facial area through functional and cosmetic restoration by reconstructing of
Intended use
A bio-absorbable product fabricated by 3D Printer. Each PSI is customized to the specifications of the individual patient and is used for reconstruction of cranio-maxillofacial defects.
Advantages
Performance properties
After being grafted on the body and filling the defected area(CMF, cranio-maxillofacial), the porous structural characteristics of the PSI allows the cells in the surrounding tissues to migrate into the porous scaffold. Consequently, after a certain amount of time, it promotes the generation of extracellular matrix material, such as collagen, while contributing to the reconstruction of the damaged tissue.
TnR PSI consists of polycaprolactone (PCL). This polymer is ultimately hydrolyzed into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) through the citric acid cycle metabolic pathway. TnR PSI Plus is made from polycaprolactone and β-TCP(tricalcium phosphate). β-TCP plays a role in shortening the decomposition time of the product, and the hydrolysis process that takes place in the body by causing the gradual dissociation of calcium ions (Ca2+) and orthophosphate (PO43-).
