“…In the case of medical devices, 3D printing has been used to design patient-customized biomedical devices. 3D printing can also enhance the uniformity of mechanical properties as well as allow the spatial localization of bioactive agents within the devices [127]. Currently, best to our knowledge there are only two studies reported about 3D printing of virgin PBS and few PBS-based materials [21,128].…”

The development of biodegradable and biocompatible materials to replace non-biodegradable synthetic polymers has received significant interest in biomedical applications. Amongst all biopolymers, polybutylene succinate (PBS) possesses excellent properties, such as biocompatibility, easy processability, biodegradability, non-toxic, good mechanical and thermal properties, which makes it a suitable candidate to replace non-biodegradable synthetic polymers in biomedical applications. This review provides recent advancements, trends, and challenges for the utilization of polybutylene succinate (PBS) and PBS-based materials for biomedical applications, viz. drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biomedical devices. In addition, the design of medical devices from PBS using 3D and 4D printing is also presented. The market analysis, comparison of virgin PBS and synthetic polymer properties, as well as the end of service life, are summarized briefly. The current status, challenges, and future directions are also discussed.

Additive manufacturing or 3D printing allows the rapid conversion of information from digital 3D models into physical objects. The current COVID-19 crisis underscored the value of 3D-printing technology in addressing critical shortages in the medical product supply chain. This article provides a review of the significant role of additive manufacturing technologies in addressing the COVID-19 situation. This article concludes that 3D printing has an important role in global public health because of its potential to adapt to emerging situations far more easily and quickly as compared with conventional manufacturing methods. There is a need for further research to improve the technology to mass produce better quality products more economically. Currently, the 3D-printing industry is concentrated in the US and Western Europe. Policy efforts are needed to tap all markets across the globe in order to be better prepared for a future pandemic.
