Cold Plasma Treated Biodegradable 3D Printed Ortho Implants

These surface treatments, just as the name implies, apply mostly to the surface of the object and don't do much on the complex insides where tissues eventually penetrate. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST) in Braunschweig, Germany have developed a way to apply surface treatment to 3D printed implants on all the surfaces, be they inside or outside the implant. This is done as a device is being 3D printed, applying a jet of cold plasma that c...
