"Rapid Prototyping of Surgical Staples" by Osama Al Takhayneh
There is a current need for the development of new bone implant materials to overcome a variety of surgical, biological, and manufacturing drawbacks. There are several techniques used in the manufacturing of bone implants such as 3D printing. Rapid prototyping/3D printing is an important process in the development of implants used in bone fixation surgeries, its importance lies within the ability to customize and create patient specific systems to increase the efficiency of bone fixation surgeries. The main aim of this study is to develop and test new materials for the purpose of internal fixa...
