Surgical Planning
Orthopaedics
- In situ models can indicate how a bone would sit within the body in complex pathologies
- By using a clear material with high resolution we can display internal defects in the bone such as tumours or physical bars
- In situ models can indicate how a bone would sit within the body in complex pathologies
Trauma
- Show up fracture lines in patients for complex cases
Oncology
- Accurately show vascular location in relation to internal tumours for radiotherapy assessment
- Highlights fine detail as well as tumour shape and size Can show tumour scale external to anatomy
Cardiology
- Show small details in CT angiograms like atherosclerosis within vessels or external coronary arteries
- Look within chambers or accurately visualize aortic aneurysms and stent placement
- Visualize internal chambers and major vascular structures
- Accurately assess myocardium and atrial thicknesses of patients
- Aortic Test Models
Dentistry
- Preoperative models of the teeth and bones of the face to create the desired postoperative position
- Modified models to produce a surgical splint
- Modified models for pre-bending of the generic miniplates
Maxillofacial
- Shows up fine detail such as TMJ's and fine dental work
- Visualise superficial and deep anatomy in bone such as mandibular osteopetrosiss
Medical Device Testing
Customizable medical models to suit a specific area which will optimize your testing procedures at all stages of device development. The models are geometrically designed to withstand rigorous laboratory and field use.
- Initial concept
- Product development
- Physician product testing
- Manufacturing quality assurance
- For ongoing device testing we can provide personalized and generically designed silicone casted models (link to Silicone casted models)
- Segment patient specific data > CAD to merge to sim model > 3D printed prototype > Casting for silicone model
Education
- Educate and train HCP's using anatomically accurate models
- Improve patient care and communication using patient specific models
- Using models with pathologies and abnormalities will provide you with an array of case studies
- Our models are anatomically correct, providing a realistic scenario for training and testing
- Testing on models allows for a more cost effective alternative to animal testing
