New Technology Will Let Orthopedic Surgeons in Denver Draw New Tissue

With the BioPen's ability to deposit a mixture of both cell material and a biopolymer for creating tissue structures, doctors may be able to "draw" new organs, such as bone and cartilage, for their patients one day. This opens a whole new world of possibilities for orthopedic surgeons in Denver who understand the limitations of currently available procedures.

A great example of where this may come in handy is with joint replacement surgeries. With current technologies, an artificial, synthetic "object" is installed into the affected joint to replace the organic material that used to reside there.
