Croom Medical, based in Ireland, has introduced a 3D-printed porous ingrowth platform for orthopedic implants, dubbed Biofuse, made with laser-powder-bed-fusion technology, according to a Sept. 17 report in Today’s Medical Developments.
Instead of adding coatings or extra machining, Biofuse builds porous structures directly into the implant during production. Croom claims this approach reduces the risk of defects, preserves strength and allows manufacturers to customize pore size and density to support bone growth.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
