      Skin bioprinting is still in development, so we are not sure of the exact cost when it is finally available in all hospitals. At the moment the biggest problem with current treatments for large wounds is the high cost for the available skin replacements (such as artificial skin sheets). We believe that our bioprinter will not only work better that these artificial skin sheets, but it will also be a lot cheaper.
