Evonik and BellaSeno, a producer of 3D-printed absorbable scaffolds, are collaborating to market cutting-edge 3D-printed bone regeneration scaffolds. Resomer® polymers from Evonik using to create bone scaffolds, which help to treat significant and intricate bone deformities. In 2019, the two businesses first started working together on scaffolds for breast and chest wall reconstruction.
“We are thrilled that these scaffolds provide patients with improved bone defect repair, according to Andreas Karau, worldwide head of Medical Device Solutions at Evonik’s Health Care business line. He also said that they have discovered a partner in BellaSeno that shares their passion for innovation for better health and well-being.
BellaSeno’s specialized, biodegradable bone scaffolds ensure that tissue grafts are placed in the proper anatomical locations, revolutionizing the treatment of bone and soft tissue abnormalities. Although the industry standard for tissue regeneration, tissue autographs can lack stability and can’t be packed precisely. Thus, BellaSena addresses these constraints with the 3D-printed tissue scaffolds.
How will Evonik’s Resomer® help in 3D-Printed bioresorbable implants
For use with implantable medical devices, Resomer® is the industry’s most complete GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) portfolio of standard, custom, and specialized bioresorbable polymers. To enable customized solutions for various applications, various specific Resomer® formulations for 3D printing include filaments and powders.
The Resomer® polymers from Evonik offer great flexibility and stability. According to Mohit Chhaya, CEO of BellaSeno, “these mechanical qualities and their degradation profile allow the scaffold to be safely absorbed in a rate that mimics the growth of the patient’s own bone. In addition, he thinks that these new bone-generation implants offer patients significant potential.
Evonik is a top global system solutions provider for cutting-edge materials in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries as well as associated applications. The company’s portfolio of medical device solutions is founded in science and propelled by ongoing innovation. In addition, it enables medical device firms to fulfill their promise to millions of people of a healthier, more fulfilling life.
