Optimization of 3D Printing Parameters of Polylactic-Co-Glycolic Acid-Based Biodegradable Antibacterial Materials Using Fused Deposition Modeling

3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing 2024 Volume 11, Number 3, Pages e1343-e1355

A high incidence of ureteral diseases was needed to find better treatments such as implanting ureteral stents. The existing ureteral stents produced a series of complications such as bacterial infection and biofilm after implantation. The fused deposition modeling (FDM) of 3D printing biodegradable antibacterial ureteral stents had gradually become the trend of clinical treatment. But it was necessary to optimize the FDM 3D printing parameters of biodegradable bacteriostatic materials to improve the precision and performance of manufacturing. In this study, polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and nanosilver (AgNP) were mixed by the physical blending method, and the 3D printing parameters…
