Particle3D's 'P3D Bone PSI' technology is a 3D-printing-based solution for medical bone implants. The company has been working on custom 3D printing technology for several years, and is now progressing toward the preclinical stage and early phase testing stages. The P3D Bone is a Patient Specific Implant, meaning each implant is created with custom measurements, composition, and specifications for each patient.
The P3D Bone is not meant to fully replace bones as a permanent solution, but is rather designed as a recovery option. The implant enables full restoration and functionality of the targeted bones. The P3D Bone, according to Particle3D, "demonstrates favorable biocompatibility, osteoconduction with a rapid formation of new vascularized bone, osseointegration, and a simultaneous and balanced biodegradability."
More information regarding efficacy, risks, the technology itself, and its intended use can be found on Particle3D's website.
