The in situ bioprinter is now available for order on NASHA LABA, an online platform dedicated to sourcing and selecting domestically produced scientific equipment. This cutting-edge device was used in the world’s first-ever bioprinting surgery on a human.
Designed for on-site tissue regeneration, the bioprinter operates directly within a wound and is compatible with various hydrogel types. It scans the damaged area, creates a 3D model, and performs bioprinting along a predefined path—all within an average of just five minutes. The system even adapts to the patient’s breathing. Beyond tissue engineering research, the in situ bioprinter can also be used in other fields and functions as a traditional 3D printer.
“NUST MISIS is a leader in engineering and technological approaches to 3D bioprinting and biofabrication. Universities turn to us for engineering solutions because the successful development of new approaches requires close collaboration and coordination between different institutions and companies. For Samara State Medical University, we developed a scanning and bioprinting hardware-software system for their robotic platform. Currently, we are working on a medical bioprinter for Sechenov University, designed for clinical use with ’bio-inks’ being developed by our colleagues. We are always open to collaboration,” Dr. Fyodor Senatov, Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at NUST MISIS.
The bioprinter was developed as part of the New Health Preservation Technologies national project in partnership with 3D Bioprinting Solutions, pioneers in the field of bioprinting. The robotic system is made in Russia by RoboPro. The development team included graduate students from the NUST MISIS Advanced Engineering School for Materials Science, Additive, and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies. The equipment is manufactured at the university’s pilot production facility for medical devices, which complies with GOST ISO
NASHA LABA is a platform for finding and selecting scientific equipment and consumables produced in Russia and Belarus. It was launched in July 2022 by the Coordination Council for Youth Affairs in Science and Education under the Presidential Council for Science and Education of the Russian Federation.
