Osteopore International Pte Ltd, a Singapore-headquartered company leading the way in regenerative bone implants, is proud to announce the success of its technology in a new medical procedure that took place in Brisbane, Australia, in December last year.
Pioneered by surgeon Dr. Michael Wagels, Deputy Director of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Princess Alexandra Hospital, the 11-hour surgery involved the implantation of Osteopore’s 3D printed bioresorbable polycaprolactone (PCL) regenerative bone implant, using an innovative surgical technique that transplants a tissue flap from the patient’s knee, and was performed on Mr. Brodie Ellis to encourage the regrowth of parts of his skull.
