Post-printing surface modification and functionalization of 3D-printed biomedical device.

ABSTRACT: 3D printing is a technology well-suited for biomedical applications due to its ability to create highly complex and arbitrary structures from personalized designs with a fast turnaround. However, due to a limited selection of 3D-printable materials, the biofunctionality of many 3D-printed components has not been paid enough attention. In this perspective, we point out that post-3D printing modification is the solution that could close the gap between 3D printing technology and desired biomedical functions. We identify architectural reconfiguration and surface functionalization as the two main post-3D printing modification processes and discuss potential techniques for post-3D printing modification to achieve desired biofunctionality.

Study of 3D-printed chitosan scaffold features after different post-printing gelation processes.

Project description:3D biomaterial manufacturing strategies show an extraordinary driving force for the development of innovative therapies in the tissue engineering field. Here, the behaviour of 3D printed chitosan (CH)-based scaffolds was explored as a function of the post-printing gelation process. To this purpose, gel forming properties of different media were tested on their capability to retain 3D structure, water content, mechanical resistance and surface/internal porosity. Three different gelation media (i.e. KOH 1.5?M, Na2CO3 1.5?M, ammonia vapours) were selected and the 3D CH scaffolds were tested in terms of biocompatibility toward fibroblast as skin associated human cell line.

3D Printed Microfluidic Device for Magnetic Trapping and SERS Quantitative Evaluation of Environmental and Biomedical Analytes.

Project description:Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an ideal technique for environmental and biomedical sensor devices due to not only the highly informative vibrational features but also to its ultrasensitive nature and possibilities toward quantitative assays. Moreover, in these areas, SERS is especially useful as water hinders most of the spectroscopic techniques such as those based on IR absorption. Despite its promising possibilities, most SERS substrates and technological frameworks for SERS detection are still restricted to research laboratories, mainly due to a lack of robust technologies and standardized protocols. We present herein the implementation of Janus magnetic/plasmonic Fe3O4/Au nanostars (JMNSs) as SERS colloidal substrates for the quantitative determination of several analytes. This multifunctional substrate enables the application of an external magnetic field for JMNSs retention at a specific position within a microfluidic channel, leading to additional amplification of the SERS signals. A microfluidic device was devised and 3D printed as a demonstration of cheap and fast production, with the potential for large-scale implementation. As low as 100 μL of sample was sufficient to obtain results in 30 min, and the chip could be reused for several cycles. To show the potential and versatility of the sensing system, JMNSs were exploited with the microfluidic device for the detection of several relevant analytes showing increasing analytical difficulty, including the comparative detection of p-mercaptobenzoic acid and crystal violet and the quantitative detection of the herbicide flumioxazin and the anticancer drug erlotinib in plasma, where calibration curves within diagnostic concentration intervals were obtained.

Individualized 3D-Printed Bone-Anchored Maxillary Protraction Device for Growth Modification in Skeletal Class III Malocclusion.

Project description:Bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) is effective for skeletal Class III malocclusion. However, infection, screw and plate loosening, and device failures occur with conventional plates. This pilot prospective study analyzed the feasibility of individualized BAMP using preoperative simulation and 3D titanium printing in patients referred by the orthodontic department for four BAMP miniplates. Preoperative cone beam computed tomography data were analyzed using CAD/CAM software to fabricate the individualized 3D-printed BAMP device. The customized plates were printed using selective laser sintering and inserted onto the bone through an adjunct transfer jig. The accuracy of preoperative simulation and actual placement of the BAMP device were tested by superimposing simulated positioned digital images and postoperative computed tomography data. The growth modification effect depended on superimposition of lateral cephalograms and comparative changes in SNA, SNB, ANB, and Wits. Two male patients were finally included in the study. BAMP decreased the ANB difference (-4.56 to -1.09) and Wits appraisal (-7.52 to -3.26) after 2 years. Normal measurement indices for sagittal and vertical growth indicated successful growth modification. The mean accuracy between preoperative simulation and actual surgery was 0.1081 ± 0.5074 mm. This treatment modality involving preoperative simulation and 3D titanium printing for fabricating and placing customized BAMP devices precisely at planned locations is effective for treating skeletal Class III malocclusion.

Calcium phosphate coated 3D printed porous titanium with nanoscale surface modification for orthopedic and dental applications.

Project description:This study aims to improve the interfacial bonding between the osseous host tissue and the implant surface through the application of doped calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on 3D printed porous titanium. Porous titanium (Ti) cylinders with 25% volume porosity were fabricated using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS™), a commercial 3D Printing technique. The surface of these 3D printed cylinders was modified by growing TiO2 nanotubes first, followed by a coating of with Sr2+ and Si4+ doped bioactive CaP ceramic in simulated body fluid (SBF). Doped CaP coated implants were hypothesized to show enhanced early stage bone tissue integration. Biological properties of these implants were investigated in vivo using a rat distal femur model after 4 and 10 weeks. CaP coated porous Ti implants have enhanced tissue ingrowth as was evident from the CT scan analysis, push out test results, and the histological analysis compared to porous implants with or without surface modification via titania nanotubes. Increased osteoid-like new bone formation and accelerated mineralization was revealed inside the CaP coated porous implants. It is envisioned that such an approach of adding a bioactive doped CaP layer on porous Ti surface can reduce healing time by enhancing early stage osseointegration in vivo.

Recapitulating and Deciphering Tumor-stroma Microenvironment by Using a “LEGO” like 3D printed microfluidic device

Project description:The tumor-stroma microenvironment is extremely important on tumor progression, metastasis and angiogenesis. Development of in vitro technology that can quantitatively gain migration and cell-cell interaction data is there high desirable. Conventional methods for study tumor migration and cell-cell interaction are plagued by inaccessible to get quantitative data or complication of microfabrication process which brings into additional efforts rather than study the biological question itself. Herein, we developed a “LEGO”-like 3D printed device combined with a quantitative data gaining process which can be used for investigation into tumor cell migration process dynamically at single cell resolution and tumor-stromal interactions with high flexibility. These interactions showed to alter the genotype and phenotype of tumor cells or fibroblasts. RNA sequence analysis of homocultured and cocultured fibroblasts or HT1080 cells identified several differentially expressed genes. We found that fibroblasts cocultured with HT1080 for 24 h were in an intermediate state relative to the CAF and the normal fibroblast, and promoted tumor cell migration but inhibited tumor cell proliferation. In terms of DEGs from fibroblasts and HT1080 cells, we deciphered this phenomenon in detail.

3D Printed Silicone Meniscus Implants: Influence of the 3D Printing Process on Properties of Silicone Implants.

Project description:Osteoarthritis of the knee with meniscal pathologies is a severe meniscal pathology suffered by the aging population worldwide. However, conventional meniscal substitutes are not 3D-printable and lack the customizability of 3D printed implants and are not mechanically robust enough for human implantation. Similarly, 3D printed hydrogel scaffolds suffer from drawbacks of being mechanically weak and as a result patients are unable to execute immediate post-surgical weight-bearing ambulation and rehabilitation. To solve this problem, we have developed a 3D silicone meniscus implant which is (1) cytocompatible, (2) resistant to cyclic loading and mechanically similar to native meniscus, and (3) directly 3D printable. The main focus of this study is to determine whether the purity, composition, structure, dimensions and mechanical properties of silicone implants are affected by the use of a custom-made in-house 3D-printer. We have used the phosphate buffer saline (PBS) absorption test, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, surface profilometry, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to effectively assess and compare material properties between molded and 3D printed silicone samples.

Low-cost FDM 3D-printed modular electrospray/electrospinning setup for biomedical applications.

Project description:Here, we report on the inexpensive fabrication of an electrospray/electrospinning setup by fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing and provide the files and parameters needed to print this versatile device. Both electrospray and electrospinning technologies are widely used for pharmaceutical, healthcare and bioengineering applications. The setup was designed to be modular, thus its parts can be exchanged easily. The design provides a safe setup, ensuring that the users are not exposed to the high voltage parts of the setup. PLA, PVA, and a thermoplastic elastomer filament were used for the 3D printing. The filament cost was $100 USD and the rig was printed in 6?days. An Ultimaker 3 FDM 3D printer was used with dual print heads, and the PVA was used as a water-soluble support structure. The end part of the setup had several gas channels, allowing a uniform gas flowing against the direction of the nanoparticles/nanofibers, enhancing the drying process by enhancing the evaporation rate. The setup was tested in both electrospray and electrospinning modes successfully. Both the .sldprt and .stl files are provided for free download.

A Modular Microfluidic Device via Multimaterial 3D Printing for Emulsion Generation.

Project description:3D-printing (3DP) technology has been developing rapidly. However, limited studies on the contribution of 3DP technology, especially multimaterial 3DP technology, to droplet-microfluidics have been reported. In this paper, multimaterial 3D-printed devices for the pneumatic control of emulsion generation have been reported. A 3D coaxial flexible channel with other rigid structures has been designed and printed monolithically. Numerical and experimental studies have demonstrated that this flexible channel can be excited by the air pressure and then deform in a controllable way, which can provide the active control of droplet generation. Furthermore, a novel modular microfluidic device for double emulsion generation has been designed and fabricated, which consists of three modules: function module, T-junction module, and co-flow module. The function module can be replaced by (1) Single-inlet module, (2) Pneumatic Control Unit (PCU) module and (3) Dual-inlet module. Different modules can be easily assembled for different double emulsion production. By using the PCU module, double emulsions with different number of inner droplets have been successfully produced without complicated operation of flow rates of different phases. By using single and dual inlet module, various double emulsions with different number of encapsulated droplets or encapsulated droplets with different compositions have been successfully produced, respectively.
