3D printed biosensors are available for implantable heart inspection

3D printed biosensors are having more impact on the future of cardiac surgery. Recently, American researchers announced the development of a 3D printed implantable device that integrates a blood pressure sensor and is fully implantable with a cardiovascular pressure monitor. The device will play a huge role in monitoring the structure and defects of the heart, reducing the difficulty of surgery, especially for children's heart surgery.

Recently, researchers at the University of Western Ontario announced the development of an implantable device to check the patient's heart condition. This device is manufactured by 3D printing technology.

It is understood that the device's creator KyleG.Fricke was completed under the guidance of Robert Sobot. This wireless implantable system integrates a blood pressure sensor and is fully implantable with a cardiovascular pressure monitor (including a stand). It measures just 2.475 cubic centimeters and weighs just over 4 grams. They can even be placed in the smallest laboratory mouse. Body.

“We used biocompatible materials like polycarbonate-ISO and various metals to print out the sensor in 3D,” Fircke said. "The only part that can't be printed is the battery, which can only be connected below."

In other applications, 3D printing has been used to create models for young children with heart disease. These children's hearts are extremely sensitive to surgery because they are small. Therefore, the surgeon needs to fully understand the structure and defects of the child's heart before surgery.

“With an accurate heart model in hand, surgeons can more easily determine how to perform the surgery properly,” Dr. Bramlet, a pediatric cardiologist at the Children's Hospital of Illinois, said in an interview. “Our team has now printed eight or nine heart models, all of which will increase the doctor’s understanding of the child’s heart before surgery.”

It is reported that 3D printed biosensors and 3D printed heart models are clearly having more impact on the future of cardiac surgery.
