3D printed plasma accelerates wound healing

Scientists have noted the benefits of 3D-printed plasma for patients with severe wounds

accelerated the healing of severe wounds. This is reported in a study published in the scientific journal Advanced Functional Materials.

Experts from the University of Dublin (RCSI) noted the benefits of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), created using a 3D printer. Scientists stated that replication of an essential blood component promotes effective wound healing.

In a study, doctors extracted PRP from the blood of a patient with a complex skin wound. Then, using a 3D printer, they actually printed an implant for tissue repair and used it in the treatment of difficult wounds. The scientists emphasized that the plasma obtained with the help of the replicator promoted rapid wound healing in one surgical procedure.

The use of a PRP implant helped to speed up wound recovery, ensured vascularization – the development of new blood vessels, contributed to the suppression of fibrosis – scarring or thickening of tissue … “This technology has the potential to be used to regenerate various tissues, which will have a significant impact on the ever-growing markets for regenerative medicine,” said RCSI professor Fergal O'Brien.

Previously, Harvard University scientists described technology of using living ink in the construction of houses. Thanks to their structure, nanofibers can self-repair and repair damage to the walls of the future home and other communications.
