IIT Mandi develops sea urchin-inspired coating for 3D-printed bone implants

Mandi: Researchers from IIT Mandi have created a bio-inspired surface coating on 3D-printed bone implants capable of mechanically disrupting bacteria and accelerating integration of the implant with bones. The research has been published in the Chemical Engineering Journal. It employs tiny hydroxyapatite structures, resembling sea urchins, on biodegradable plastic scaffolds to tackle two key problems (…)
