FDA Approves OSSDsign’s 3D Printed Cranial Implant

The FDA has approved OSSDsign’s new cranial implant that uses an innovative and patented composite material printed to exact patient needs with a 3D printer.

The Uppsala, Sweden-based designer, manufacturer and distributor constructs individually designed and printed cranial implants using the patient’s computer tomography (CT) information. The OssDsign system combines advanced computer-assisted design (CAD) with a proprietary calcium phosphate composite as a 3D printing material, which is reinforced by a titanium skeleton.
