Founded in 2016, Nanochon aims to facilitate cartilage replacement and repair for patients suffering from knee injuries. It relies on 3D printing technology, specifically extrusion, to manufacture an implant that replaces lost or damaged cartilage. In this way, Nanochon offers an alternative to arthroplasty, a method that is often painful for patients and involves a very long convalescence. Called Chondrograft™, this 3D-printed device is made from an innovative biocompatible composite material that promotes tissue growth.
In a recent feature, Nanochon’s co‑founder and CTO, Nathan Castro, shares how the Chondrograft™ aims to revolutionize knee cartilage repair.
