Ingestible Bioprinting Capsule Emerges as Potential Non-Surgical Treatment for GI Conditions

Researchers have created a swallowable bioprinter the size of a pill that can repair gastrointestinal tissue damage without surgery. The magnetic capsule delivers bio-ink directly to ulcers and hemorrhages, guided entirely by external controls. Early testing shows promising results for treating conditions that currently require invasive procedures.

Breakthrough in Non-Invasive Medical Technology

Researchers from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) School of Engineering have developed what they’re calling the world’s first ingestible bioprinter, according to reports published in the journal Advanced Science. The pill-sized device represents a significant departure from conventional surgical approaches to gastrointestinal repair, potentially offering a non-invasive alternative for treating tissue damage within the gastrointestinal tract.
