shengliu61 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 For soft tissue injuries, especially 3D printer filaments that need to be used in the medical field, some suitable materials include: Biodegradable materials: Biodegradable materials such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), etc. are suitable for use in temporary stents or implants because they can degrade gradually in the body, reducing the need for secondary surgery. Medical grade polymers: Medical grade polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), etc., have good biocompatibility and are suitable for making medical devices and stents. Elastic material: Elastic materials such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) can be used to make soft tissue models that simulate the elasticity and softness of soft tissues. Medical grade rubber: Medical grade rubber materials such as butyl acrylate (PMMA) can be used to make soft tissue models or soft medical AIDS. Biomedical grade materials: Some biomedical grade materials specially designed for medical applications, such as biomedical polyurethanes, have excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties and are suitable for soft tissue repair and reconstruction. When selecting a suitable 3D printing filament, it is necessary to consider the biocompatibility, mechanical properties, degradation performance of the material, and whether it meets the standards and regulations of the medical industry. In addition, depending on the specific soft tissue injury and treatment needs, it is very important to choose the right material and printing process. It is best to make the selection in consultation with medical professionals (such as doctors, medical device designers) to ensure that the printed product meets medical standards and treatment needs.
