⚡️🇷🇺 The world's first operation using a bioprinter, consisting of a robotic arm, a bioprinting system and computer vision, was carried out at the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after N.Burdenko.

The trajectory of biopolymer delivery in situ, that is, directly into the wound, was programmed by a MISIS university specialist after scanning the injury site.

💉The doctor took the patient’s cells from the bone marrow to “put” them into the bioprinter. The robot carried out scanning and bioprinting without human intervention. Doctors are confident that this equipment opens up new possibilities for the treatment of complex soft tissue injuries.

“Using a robotic arm, we printed a matrix in the patient’s forearm with bioink to replace a soft tissue defect. The composition consists of a mixture of highly purified concentrated sterile solution of collagen and cells. This technique was carried out for the first time; it is especially relevant for multiple wounds of the extremities, when the donor resource is limited. In case of extensive wounds in the future, we plan to scan the entire body and replace all wounds with this method. This will speed up their healing time and will reduce the time patients stay in the hospital,” said surgeon, who supervised the operation at the hospital.
