At the BioMedTech Association‘ s IdeenCamp 2024, the DITF team of Sabrina Svinjar, Carsten Linti and Dr. Andreas Scherrieble won first prize for their project “Placeholder for planned callus distraction”. Together with their clinical partner from the BG Clinic in Tübingen, Dr. Heiko Baumgartner, the team developed the idea of a structurally flexible implant that can be adapted to the respective bone (e. g. tibia). The special feature: The implant consists of a resorbable membrane from additive manufacturing and does not have to be explanted.
A second DITF team with Louisa Bonten and Carsten Linti also impressed the jury with their project idea “Optimization of rotator cuff repair” and received an award. The ideas were the result of around three months of project work with a kick-off at BMT 2024.
