| Their
innovation is being tested at the National
University Hospital. |

This
project explores how engineering methods and machines
can be applied to produce bio-compatible
materials for use in healthcare. The team worked
with researchers from Nanyang Technological University
to successfully develop artificial bone material.
This material can be used to replace bones that
have been affected by cancer, as well as for fracture
fixation and spine fusion. It can even be made
into tooth roots to hold false teeth in position. |
