Big news has just impacted the French additive manufacturing market and, more broadly, the medtech sector in France: LATTICE MEDICAL has just raised €43 million. This €43 million will be used to accelerate the clinical development of MATTISSE. This is a resorbable breast implant, designed using 3D printing. Breast reconstruction after breast cancer is now intended to be natural and simple.
According to the World Health Organization, there are 2 million new cases of breast cancer each year. It is the most common and deadliest form of cancer among women. In light of this, several initiatives and projects have been developed, and October is an ideal time to take stock. This is the context for the work of Lille-based LATTICE MEDICAL, which aims to offer a more natural solution for women who have undergone a mastectomy. Its mission? “To reinvent tissue regeneration solutions to improve the quality of life for patients after cancer.”
