The necessity for orthopedic prostheses, implants, and membranes to treat diseases, trauma, and other disasters has increased as the risk of survive through various factors has intensified exponentially. Considering exponential growth in demand, it has been observed that the traditional technology of grafts and membranes lags to fulfill the demand and effectiveness simultaneously. These challenges in traditional methodologies prompted a revolutionary shift in the biomedical industry when Additive manufacturing (AM) emerged as an alternative fabrication technique for medical equipments such as prostheses, implants, and membranes. However these techniques were fast and precise the major attributes of the biomedical materials were the processability, bactericidal nature, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity together with good mechanical properties. Major challenges faced by researchers in the present-day scenario regarding materials are the lack of bactericidal attributes in tailored material, though having better mechanical as well as biocompatible properties, which, on the other hand, are primary critical factors too, in the healthcare sector. Hence considering the advantages of additive manufacturing and need for membranes with bacteriacidal attributes this present review will highlight the studies based on the manufacturing of membranes with bacteria-resistant properties majorly using direct ink writing and some additive manufacturing techniques and the reasoning behind the antibacterial attributes of those composite materials.
