This Portable 3D Printer Could Print Skin Over Wounds  | Doctors Hub | Scoop.it

Inside a lab in Toronto, researchers are testing a device that looks a little like a dispenser for packing tape–but instead of tape, it lays down thin, squishy strips of 3D-printed skin. For someone with a deep cut, the type of wound that typically requires a skin graft today, the device could eventually be used to print new skin directly onto the patient.
