Application Description: 3D printing helps doctors create accurate three-dimensional models of patients, especially for complex and high-risk surgeries such as brain, heart, and spine operations. These models allow doctors to perform pre-surgery simulations, assess risks, and even rehearse the surgery, improving precision and reducing surgery time.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2023, researchers from Weidu (Xi’an) Biomedical Technology Company used 3D printing to create a pre-surgical model for a patient undergoing spinal surgery. By creating a customized bone model, doctors could better understand the patient's skeletal structure before surgery, allowing for more precise surgery and a higher success rate. This technology has been approved for clinical use and is being promoted across multiple medical institutions. (amreference.com)
Application Description: Surgical guides are tools designed based on a patient’s specific physiological structure. With 3D printing, doctors can quickly produce highly accurate, personalized guides from CT or MRI scan data to aid in precise cutting and reconstruction. For example, dental surgeons use 3D-printed guides for placing dental implants, while orthopedic surgeons use them for bone cutting.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2022, a company in Belgium developed a 3D-printed surgical guide for pediatric bone surgeries that received FDA approval. Based on the patient’s individual bone scan data, this guide helps doctors plan the surgery more precisely. The family of the patient reported that the surgery was more efficient than traditional methods, with a shorter recovery time. (cn.anycubic.com)
Application Description: 3D printing provides customized solutions in dentistry, especially in orthodontics and dental restoration. By scanning a patient's oral data, doctors can use 3D printing to create precise dental models and prosthetics, particularly in the customization of dental braces, bridges, and implants. This technology can also be used to create several stages of dental braces throughout the treatment process, ensuring high accuracy and comfort.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2023, Zhongwei Lifang developed a customized invisible dental brace solution using 3D printing. This brace is tailored to the patient's specific tooth arrangement, making the process of orthodontic treatment more accurate while significantly lowering treatment costs and production time. This technology has been adopted by many dental clinics, receiving high praise from patients. (cn.anycubic.com)
Application Description: In the field of orthopedics, 3D printing is primarily used for customized bone implants and fracture repairs. Doctors can create personalized implants based on CT or MRI scan data to match the patient's bone structure, reducing surgical errors and improving the accuracy and recovery speed of surgeries.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2022, Xi'an Weidu Company successfully developed a personalized 3D-printed titanium alloy spinal implant, designed for the treatment of fractures and scoliosis. Compared to traditional implants, these custom implants perform better in terms of stability and biocompatibility, significantly reducing postoperative complications. The product has been approved for the Chinese market and received medical device registration. (amreference.com)
Application Description: 3D printing technology offers innovative solutions for skin repair. By scanning the shape of the damaged area, doctors can use 3D printing to create materials that include skin cells for precise wound repair. This method provides better results for burn patients, especially for treating deep burns and traumatic scars.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2022, a patient in the UK, severely injured from a high fall with facial and jaw damage, had their face reconstructed using a 3D-printed model. The surgery was successful, and the patient's appearance recovered well. The success of the surgery was attributed to pre-surgical planning with a 3D-printed facial model. (bmftec.cn)
Application Description: 3D-printed biological organs are a major focus of future medicine. Researchers are exploring how 3D printing can be used to produce living tissues or organs for transplantation. By printing complex structures like blood vessels, kidneys, and hearts, 3D printing may one day help solve the organ donation shortage problem.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2023, researchers at Kyoto University successfully used 3D printing to create a vascular network in a mouse model. This research provides new insights into the potential of 3D printing for creating human organs. The printed tubular structures help promote the regeneration of nerves and blood vessels, offering new possibilities for nerve damage treatment. (bmftec.cn)
Application Description: 3D printing is widely used in the production of rehabilitation medical devices, such as prosthetics and hearing aids. These devices often need to be customized to fit a patient’s body shape and requirements, and 3D printing provides a flexible and efficient manufacturing solution. It has proven particularly useful in the production of titanium hearing aids and personalized prosthetics, reducing costs while improving comfort.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2022, a German company developed a 3D-printed titanium hearing aid, Virto B-Titanium. Compared to traditional hearing aids, this device is lighter, more comfortable, and cost-effective, improving the quality of life for patients with hearing impairments. (cn.anycubic.com)
Application Description: 3D printing holds great potential in personalized medicine, allowing the production of custom drug doses and controlled-release devices based on patient needs. With 3D printing, drug release rates and doses can be precisely controlled, enhancing therapeutic effects while minimizing side effects.
Latest Case:
Case: In 2015, the U.S. FDA approved Spritam, an anti-epileptic drug produced using 3D printing technology. The drug’s layered structure, created through 3D printing, allows for controlled release, providing more precise treatment for epilepsy patients. (fda.gov)
