Biodegradable 3D-printed gastric stent with lattice design could eliminate repeat procedures
Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed BRIDGE (Biodegradable aRchitected Internal DrainaGE), a biodegradable, 3D-printed gastric stent that could improve treatment for gastric leaks, a serious complication following weight-loss surgery. By combining an advanced internal lattice design with biodegradable materials, the new device more than doubles drainage performance while potentially…
