可分解3D列印鼓膜切開手術套組的製作與評估：一項永續性概念驗證

// Creation and evaluation of 3D printed compostable myringotomy sets: A sustainable proof of concept

本研究開發出完全可堆肥分解的3D列印鼓膜切開手術組，使用PHA生物聚合物絲材作為一次性器械的永續替代品｜工具經CAD設計並以熔融沉積列印製作，模擬測試中功能與傳統器械相當｜雖列印解析度與材料性能仍待提升，但具良好生物分解性，有望減少醫療廢棄物，支持未來在滅菌驗證及環境影響評估的深入研究。

// This study developed a fully compostable, 3D-printed myringotomy surgical set using polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer filament as a sustainable alternative to single-use disposables. The tools were designed via CAD and printed with fused deposition modeling, then tested successfully in simulated procedures with comparable function to traditional instruments. Although printing resolution and material properties require improvement, the compostable tools showed promising biodegradability and potential to reduce medical waste. This proof-of-concept supports further research on optimization, sterility validation, and environmental impact across clinical settings.
