      "Current medical implants often require multiple surgeries to remove or replace them, leading to discomfort and increased healthcare costs. Traditional implants can also cause complications like infection and tissue rejection."

      Solution

      "4D Biomaterials has developed a 3D printed, biodegradable material called 4Degra that can be customized to the exact shape needed for medical implants. This material allows for natural tissue to grow through the implant, gradually eroding and being expelled harmlessly by the body, eliminating the need for additional surgeries."
