As a result of the successful implementation of the project “Corneal Reconstruction Scaffold Using 3D Printing and Bioprinting”, Acellmed Ltd. has introduced an innovative cell-seeded scaffold for corneal reconstruction into its product portfolio. Project was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the Regional Operational Programme of the Silesian Voivodeship for 2014–2020, Priority Axis I – Modern Economy, Measure 1.2 – Research, Development and Innovation in Enterprises.
Key Product Features:
- stable, durable scaffold with a level of transparency acceptable for surgical procedures.
- ability to culture, maintain, store, and perform basic characterization of limbal stem cells.
- sterile, biocompatible scaffold suitable for testing in contact with cells as well as under in vivo conditions.
- unique research model for corneal cells that incorporates the scaffold material, providing a more physiologically relevant testing environment.
- innovative scaffold manufacturing method based on automated and reproducible 3D printing (bioprinting) technology, enabling uniform distribution of cells across the scaffold surface.
- confirmed successful growth and proliferation of corneal cells on the scaffold.
- cell-seeded scaffolds suitable for application in ophthalmic surgical practice.
- demonstrated effectiveness of the developed prototype in surgical corneal repair procedures.
