Functional biomimetic design of 3D printed polyether-ether-ketone flexible chest wall reconstruction implants for restoration of the respiration

Functional biomimetic design of 3D printed polyether-ether-ketone flexible chest wall reconstruction implants for restoration of the respiration

The lack of deformability of rigid chest wall reconstruction (CWR) implants presents a challenge in reducing postoperative respiratory function in patients with large chest wall defects. Flexible poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) CWR implants, consisting of rib components with elliptical cross-section...
