At 10 am this morning, the world’s first commercially intelligent, intestinal-targeted, drug delivery 3D printing system was released at the Innovation Science and Technology Museum. What are the unique skills of this square-headed and brain-shaped refrigerator? The reporter and the on-site audience explore together.
For the convenience of filling, oral intestinal administration drugs are generally in powder form, and conventional capsule coatings only have one layer, which often dissolves before reaching the intestine. The world’s first intelligent drug delivery device adopts low-temperature 3D printing technology, which can accurately print the number of drug coating layers like building a house according to the characteristics of the drug and the user so that the drug is only absorbed when it reaches the target of action.
In daily life, drugs that everyone is familiar with include oral tablets, capsules, and injectable preparations. 3D printing targeted drug delivery is a new formulation technology, and there are already 3D printed powder tablets or hot melt printed tablets internationally. This world’s first 3D-printed targeted drug delivery device achieves direct filling of active bacterial solution after 3D-printing capsule shells, which can maintain the efficacy of “live drugs” to the greatest extent possible. The application of 3D printing powder in the field of biomedicine is pervasive and has enormous development potential. The continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application scope will bring more innovation and breakthroughs to the medical industry in the future.
The application of 3D printing powder in biomedicine
Personalized medical device manufacturing: Through 3D printing technology, personalized medical devices such as brackets, braces, glasses, and drug release systems can be manufactured. These devices can be customized according to the specific needs and physical condition of patients, improving treatment effectiveness and patient experience.
Bioprinting: Using biomaterials to generate three-dimensional models of living tissues and organs. For example, models of organs such as heart tissue, skin, bones, and liver have been successfully printed. This provides handy tools for organ transplantation, drug testing, and disease model analysis.
Medical teaching and simulation: Through 3D printing technology, anatomical models can be created for medical education and surgical simulation. This helps surgeons develop the best surgical plan and improve the success rate of surgery. For example, the National Center for Children’s Medicine in the United States has successfully 3D printed a patient’s heart model.
Drug production and customization: Through 3D printing technology, personalized drugs can be produced. Pharmacists can determine the optimal dosage of medication based on the patient’s pharmacological profile and other characteristics, such as age, race, or gender. Then, they can use a 3D printing system to print and distribute personalized medications.
Dental applications: used to create dental models, dentures, and braces to meet the dental needs of patients.
Otolaryngology application: can be used to create personalized ear and nose prostheses to improve the effectiveness of surgical procedures.
