ETH Zurich, along with University Hospital Zurich and the University of Zurich, have developed a bioresorbable airway stent. The custom made stents are 3D printed…
The team also reduced the photoinitiator needed, which is probably necessary for the implant to succeed. The resulting implant didn’t quite have the tensile strength of silicone but mechanical properties were adequate for it to perform its role. They also conducted cytocompatibility tests and, once these were adequate, performed a in vivo study in rabbits. In one of six study participants, the stent migrated “probably due to sneezing”.
