SI-BONE, Inc., an innovative medical device company that pioneered the use of the iFuse Implant System® ("iFuse"), a triangular shaped minimally invasive surgical (MIS) device indicated for fusion for certain disorders of the sacroiliac (SI) joint, today announced FDA clearance and full U.S. commercial launch of the iFuse-3D™ Implant ("iFuse-3D"), the first-ever 3D-printed titanium implant for use in the SI joint. SI-BONE developed a proprietary 3D-printing technology to create an implant with a unique patented fenestrated design and enhanced porous surface that resembles the trabecular structure of cancellous bone. Together, these two features provide an excellent environment for bony ongrowth, ingrowth and through growth.

Published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the findings aim to improve monitoring through low-cost, efficient wearables.

Surgery is one way of treating ischemia, but it becomes exponentially more complicated the smaller the vessels are. Developing a new treatment for the smallest vessels, researchers have started work on 3D printed patches capable of infusing with cells to grow healthy blood vessels. Research is published in the latest issue of Nature Biomedical Engineering.
