Role within SBR
LEITAT contributed to SBR with their expertise in Bioink formulation as well as polymer dispersions developed and adapted for a 3D dispenser and printing. They were also involved in surface activation by plasma and characterisation of conductive printed inks. The LEITAT team also worked on the development of sensor-active components of the implants, such as the antenna design, printed sensors and the systems integration. In addition, the Regenerative Medicine Unit at LEITAT was involved in the validation of the efficacy studies of the implant in large animal in vivo models.
