Abstract: A support for use with tissue or bone is described, the support having one or more spaced apart brace members, and at least one elongated linking member for linking to the one or more spaced apart brace members. The support may be provided in use in combination with a biologic glue, the biologic glue comprising a first portion containing stabilized blood product, and a second portion containing a growth factor, the first portion and the second portion comingled when or after the support is introduced to the tissue or bone in a subject in need thereof. The support is fabricated by actively producing the support through an additive manufacturing process, in which the support is customized specifically to the tissue or bone by creating a computer-generated construct of the support on a three-dimensional volume rendering of the tissue or bone, and the computer generated construct is interpretable via software directing the additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: A support 70 for use with tissue or bone is described, the support 70 having one or more spaced apart brace members 72, and at least one elongated linking member 80 for linking to the one or more spaced apart brace members 72. The support 70 may be provided in use in combination with a biologic glue, the biologic glue comprising a first portion containing stabilized blood product, and a second portion containing a growth factor, the first portion and the second portion comingled when or after the support is introduced to the tissue or bone in a subject in need thereof. The support 70 is fabricated by actively producing the support through an additive manufacturing process, in which the support 70 is customized specifically to the tissue or bone by creating a computer generated construct of the support 70 on a three-dimensional volume rendering of the tissue or bone, and the computer generated construct is interpretable via software directing the additive manufacturing process.
