(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed. We look forward to creating the future of better and personalised healthcare solutions together," added Shilpi Sen, Co-founder, Prayasta. "It's an absolute honour to partner with one of the most premier science institutes in India. That is why, we have taken a fresh approach and developed a novel 3D printing technology from scratch." Conventional printers cannot handle implant-grade silicone due to its inherent two-part requirement for cross-linking, form factor and extremely high viscosity. Vikas Garg, Co-founder, Prayasta, said, "Silicone is one of the best implantable materials today and yet not 3D printable. Prayasta and IISc will work together to accelerate the translation of personalised soft tissue implants from research to hospitals, to test the 3D printability of novel materials in a fast-track mode and also to develop the necessary skills for faster market penetration of 3D printing technology. Prayasta has also developed a design methodology called Novel Internal Architecture using which can make breast implants rupture-proof and suturable, eliminating the risk of leakage and post-implantation displacements. 3D printed implants that are prepared using Silimac can be personalised not only in terms of shape, size and contour, but also in terms of weight, stiffness and touch and feel, making it a complete solution.Īs the world is moving towards personalised medicine, personalising implants makes even more sense as implants are going to be there in the patients' bodies permanently for the rest of their lives.
