What actually happened
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mandi, have developed a bio-inspired surface coating for 3D-printed bone implants that can mechanically disrupt bacteria while promoting better integration of implants with bone. The research work, published in the Chemical Engineering Journal, combines nature-inspired surface design with advanced 3D-printing technology to address two major challenges associated with orthopaedic implants—bacterial infections and inadequate bonding between implants and the surrounding bone.
