LATTICE SERVICES was born from the expertise of LATTICE MEDICAL
In 2020, LATTICE MEDICAL decides to create a new entity with LATTICE SERVICES. LATTICE SERVICES brings its know-how dedicated for the design, production and commercialization of medical grade 3D printing filaments for the development of innovative implants from tissue engineering.
Disruptive technologies to create the solutions of tomorrow.
LATTICE SERVICES provides its own procedures for research teams
We are specialized in polymer-based tissue engineering projects and implantable medical devices. For this, we have developed different types of 3D printing filaments using medical polymers with the aim of providing the best performance.
These absorbable and implantable filaments are manufactured in our facility.
LATTICE SERVICES cultivates competence and versatility
Our value chain allows us to answer to the needs of research laboratories, medical device companies, FabLabs which would like to integrate additive manufacturing into their project.
LATTICE SERVICES also produces filaments according to your specifications
Our team offers its know-how to make your own custom-made polymer extrusions and supports you in the success of your 3D prints using our customization service.

Breast reconstruction at the heart of LATTICE MEDICAL’s advances
LATTICE MEDICAL is a biomedical company that combines tissue engineering and 3D printing. Founded in 2017 from the experience of engineers and surgeons passionate about new technologies.
It dedicates it know-how to breast reconstruction, particularly following breast cancer. This affects 1 in 8 women in the world. And in 40% of cases, the usual treatment is a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Only 17.5% of women undergo reconstructive surgery afterwards. This observation is explained by the fact that the current solutions are few (silicone breast implants, adipose flap surgeries or fat grafting …). In addition, the path to restorative reconstruction is long and can be painful for women who have experienced trauma. It requires and can generate:
heavy and numerous surgeries
complications that can be significant
costs related to the health system, making procedures long and complicated for patients
A unique and gathering project!
This is why LATTICE MEDICAL has been engaged for several years – with the support of the Lille University Hospital – in research in order to offer a new alternative to these different existing methods. Our goal was to find an innovative solution combining the advantages of current techniques while simplifying breast reconstruction procedures in order to make it less expensive and more accessible to all.
MATTISSE an implant resulting from our exclusive technologies
We have implemented a new bioabsorbable tissue expansion implant called “MATTISSE” using our 3D printing techniques. The principle is to use autologous adipose tissue collected near the breast area during surgery and combine them with a resorbable porous 3D printed base that will help regenerate adipose tissue. This implant is custom-made in order to achieve the desired size in one surgery. MATTISSE implant is composed of 2 parts:
A porous base improving fat regeneration
A shell giving the desired volume and shape
This shell is made using our medical grade resorbable polymers, which are made into 3D printing filaments. The use of 3D printing allows, using MRI or CT-scan images, to design a personalized implant to restore the removed breast. It takes 3 to 6 months for the fatty tissue to be fully restored. And 18 months for the complete resorption of the implant. The breast is therefore entirely reconstructed by the patient’s own tissues, without any foreign body.
