Hunter's comment
This Portable 3D skin printer prints skin layers on deep wounds and heal the wounds in minutes.
Among the bulky, low speed and expensive 3D bioprinters, this handheld printer is easy to carry and use in clinical treatments.
The skin is printed with bio-ink, the bio-ink is made with protein-based biomaterials.
The current preferred treatment is called split-thickness skin grafting, where healthy donor skin is grafted onto the wound. Grafting on large wounds requires enough healthy donor skin to traverse all three layers, and sufficient graft skin is rarely available. This leaves a portion of the wounded area “ungrafted” or uncovered, leading to poor healing outcomes.
The above problem completely solved by this 3D skin printer.
