Additive manufacturing is widely used to produce highly complex structures. Moreover, this technology has proven its superiority in producing tools which can be used in different applications. We designed and produced an extrusion nozzle that allowed us to hot melt extrude drug-loaded tubes. The tubes were an essential part of a new mouse ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) model. Ciprofloxacin (CPX) was selected for its expected activity against the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus and ease of incorporation into thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). TPU was selected as the carrier polymer for its biocompatibility and use in a variety of medical devices such as tubing and catheters. The effect of loading CPX within the TPU polymeric matrix and the physicochemical properties of the produced tubes were investigated. CPX showed good thermal stability and in vitro activity in preventing S. aureus biofilm formation after loading within the tube’s polymeric matrix. Moreover, the produced tubes showed anti-infective efficacy in vivo. The produced tubes, which were extruded via our novel nozzle, were vital for the validation of our mouse VAP model. This model can be adopted to investigate other antibacterial and antibiofilm compounds incorporated in polymeric tubes using hot melt extrusion.

AbstractThe field of bone tissue engineering seeks to mimic the bone extracellular matrix composition, balancing the organic and inorganic components. In this regard, additive manufacturing (AM) of highly loaded polymer-calcium phosphate (CaP) composites holds great promise towards the design of bioactive scaffolds. Yet, the biological performance of such scaffolds is still poorly characterized. In this study, melt extrusion AM (ME-AM) was used to fabricate poly(ethylene oxide terephthalate)/poly(butylene terephthalate) (PEOT/PBT)-nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) scaffolds with up to 45 wt% nHA, which presented significantly enhanced compressive mechanical properties, to evaluate their in vitro osteogenic potential as a function of nHA content. While osteogenic gene upregulation and matrix mineralization were observed on all scaffold types when cultured in osteogenic media, human mesenchymal stromal cells did not present an explicitly clear osteogenic phenotype, within the evaluated timeframe, in basic media cultures (i.e. without osteogenic factors). Yet, due to the adsorption of calcium and inorganic phosphate ions from cell culture media and simulated body fluid, the formation of a CaP layer was observed on PEOT/PBT-nHA 45 wt% scaffolds, which is hypothesized to account for their osteoinductivity in the long term in vitro, and osteoconductivity in vivo.
