APLICOR 3D
Singing River Wound Care Center is one of the first wound care centers in the nation to offer APLICOR 3D, a cutting-edge 3D printing technology that uses your body’s own tissue to create a customized wound graft.
3D-Printed Grafts Customized to Your Wound
APLICOR 3D is an advanced wound care treatment that combines medical imaging, 3D printing, and your own fat cells to create a patch designed specifically for your wound. The whole process takes about 60-90 minutes.
Benefits of Aplicor 3D
- Grafts are tailor-made to fit your wound
- Using your own tissue reduces rejection risks
- Uses the latest in wound-healing technology
- Can help with diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, pressure injuries, and other hard-to-heal wounds
The APLICOR 3D Process
Using a tablet, your doctor takes precise measurements of your wound.
The 3D printer uses your measurements to create a scaffold
A small amount of your own fat is collected via liposuction and processed into “bio ink.”
The bio ink is printed into the scaffold, forming a graft unique to you.
The graft is removed from the scaffold, placed into your wound, and covered with a non-stick dressing.
