Brinter

Brinter is dedicated to pioneering the standard of care for cartilage injuries with 3D bioprinting. The priority focus is the meniscus. The meniscus acts as a shock absorber to cushion the lower part of the leg from the weight of the rest of the body. Prone to sports injuries and degeneration over time, the meniscus has poor inherent regenerative capabilities due to the limited blood supply and vascularization. Current meniscus repair strategies are limited in structure and material design for long-term stability and mechanical durability while promoting meniscal repair and reconstruction. The Brinter team uses 3D bioprinting as a fabrication technique to print both cells and biomaterials into personalized and more biologically relevant meniscus bio-implants.
