Abstract: A respirator system includes a hood, a breathing tube, and an air purification device. The breathing tube is coupled to the hood and has an inner surface coated in an antimicrobial coating. The air purification device is coupled to the breathing tube and is further configured to deliver filtered air to the hood via the breathing tube. The air purification device includes a housing, a back pad, a filter, a fan, a power source, and a controller. The housing includes a front housing component and a rear housing component. The back pad is configured to provide a cushion between the rear housing component and the user's body. The fan is configured to pull ambient air through the filter and deliver the filtered air to the hood. The power source is configured to supply power to the fan. The controller is configured to regulate a speed of the fan.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for fabricating 3D structures from biomaterial. The system includes a printer assembly having a dual-arm assembly including an upper arm, and a lower arm connected by an elbow joint to the upper arm. A disposable barrier encloses a printing surface from an external environment and from components of the printer assembly. The upper arm and lower arm are inserted into an inlet of the barrier, so as to be isolated from the print surface. The lower arm is provided with an extruding system, and the extruding system includes an actuator-driven syringe configured to deposit biomaterial on the print surface. The biomaterial is deposited on the print surface to carry out 3D fabrication in an aseptic environment.

Abstract: A tissue or organ replacement includes a tissue-engineered construct that includes one or more bio ink compositions and a biocompatible support structure. The support structure includes one or more external supports, one or more internal supports, or combinations thereof of a biocompatible material. The composition has a three-dimensional (3D) shape, and the biocompatible material is present in an amount of about 1% to about 100% by weight of the biocompatible support structure.

Abstract: A spine disc replacement composition, biocompatible support structure, and methods of fabricating the spine disc replacement and biocompatible support structure are provided. The spine disc replacement composition includes the biocompatible support structure that includes one or more of an annular ring, a first plate, or second plate of a biocompatible material and a tissue-engineered construct that includes a bio ink, where the annular ring includes an inner surface, an outer surface, a first planar surface, and a second planar surface, and the biocompatible material is present in an amount of about 1% to about 100% by weight of the biocompatible support structure.
