Researchers have developed a python-tooth-inspired device as a supplement to current rotator cuff suture repair, and found that it nearly doubled repair strength. Their biomimetic approach ...

Now, a group led by Stavros Thomopoulos, PhD, of Columbia University in New York City, has developed 3D printed devices modeled after python teeth to strengthen tendon-bone attachment beyond that ...

A device inspired by the unique teeth of a python may enhance rotator cuff surgery outcomes by improving repair strength and reducing the risk of a retear. The study recently was published in Science ...
