Most traditional orthopedic braces are mass-produced in a standardized manner and cannot be matched with individuals, which not only affects the comfort of patients wearing, but also has a certain impact on their recovery. Patients with fractures almost all have a unified feeling. Although traditional plaster braces have a good rehabilitation effect, plaster is hot and heavy, damp and has a smell. The fixed position of plaster often itches and cannot be scratched, which often makes fracture patients suffer. Although 3D printing is accurate, the material is skin-friendly and light, and more personalized, it mostly depends on whether the hospital has the corresponding equipment and technicians, and it is formed once, and it cannot make secondary adjustments to the patient's recovery and wearing comfort. Our company has launched a metal resin thermoplastic external fixation splint product, which perfectly solves the shortcomings of the above materials. It can complete shaping and fixation in 3-5 minutes at the fastest. It is easy to operate, has a high degree of fit, strong breathability, and can be reshaped and X-ray penetrable.

Video tutorial, learn how to perform an end-to-end anastomosis with a prosthesis #3Dprinting #education #aorta This is a prototype created with 3D printing to simulate the creation of arteriovenous fistulas. Today we've adapted it to simulate the construction of an end-to-end anastomosis with a PTFE vascular prosthesis number 10. We will use a 4.0 polypropylene suture with a size 17 needle. I usually do most of my vascular sutures with a size 17 needle. We will start the suture from outside to inside, since in this case we don't have a double needle. I usually prefer to start the suture from inside to outside, but in this situation, we will start from outside to inside. Also on the distal part, we will work from outside to inside. As I often mention, when possible, avoid holding the needle simultaneously with the needle holder and the forceps. This is especially important when dealing with fragile tissues such as the coronary arteries or aortic tissues. Holding the needle simultaneously with the needle holder and forceps could cause tractions that could tear the wall. Therefore, when possible, let's try to replace the needle and pick it up with the forceps or the needle holder. Furthermore, when picking up the needle, let's try to rotate the wrist so that the tissue, whether prosthetic or native, moves as little as possible, thus avoiding further wall tears. It's important to remember that there is no one way to construct an anastomosis. Each surgeon develops their own method with experience and practice, choosing what seems most suitable or comfortable. The important thing is to maintain a certain continuity and repetitiveness in execution, which is very useful for the rest of the team in the operating room. If we are methodical, the team can anticipate the next steps, saving valuable time, especially in emergency situations. Otherwise, each procedure will always feel like the first time. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the single pass, both in the proximal and distal parts; I prefer two separate passes. However, in some cases, especially when the edges are well aligned (alain), it might be an option to consider. In conclusion, we have completed the anastomosis, although we cannot test it at this time, it seems satisfactory. SISMA S.p.A. Stefanplast S.p.a.

Every patient is unique. However, custom orthotics are expensive and time-consuming to make, and plaster models are messy and inconvenient. Although 3D printing is popular, it requires professional scanners and 3D printers, and cannot be reshaped multiple times. If you can make a surgical fixation clip suitable for the patient at any time at a low cost, would you like to know about it? Whether it is a wrist guard designed according to the patient's unique injury shape or a postoperative ankle splint designed according to the wearer's specific needs, it only takes 3-5 minutes to quickly shape and fix, and it has X-ray penetration and does not affect the examination. It is convenient for doctors, physical therapists, orthopedic clinics and hospitals around the world to provide patients with personalized products, which can not only reduce costs and speed up the shaping and fixation, but also provide a better patient experience and obtain better treatment results.

Advances in 3D Printing Usher in the Next Wave of Orthopedic Casts: ActivArmor's founder and CEO explains why 3D printing is changing the concept of orthopedics.

⏳Only 252 days left until WAB2024! What a nice number! Today, we are sharing a video spotlighting the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process, also recognized as selective laser melting. LPBF is an additive manufacturing technique that harnesses a laser to selectively melt and fuse powdered material, typically metal or alloy powders, layer by layer, resulting in the creation of three-dimensional objects. In the realm of biomedicine, LPBF holds significant promise for the manufacturing of implants and prosthetics. It proves invaluable in producing patient-specific implants, including orthopedic implants for joints, spinal implants, cardiovascular stents, and customized prosthetic and orthotic devices. Within the dental industry, LPBF is employed for the fabrication of custom dental implants, crowns, and bridges. The precision inherent in LPBF enables the generation of complex geometries with controlled high porosity. This capability finds extensive use in creating scaffolds for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. It's worth noting that LPBF's applications in biomedicine extend beyond traditional manufacturing, showcasing its versatility in addressing various medical needs. 👏 A big thank you to Ignacio Escobar Moreno for his expertise in 3D printing and to Blanca Limones Ahijón for the video! #WAB2024 #LaserPowderBedFusion #Biomedicine #AdditiveManufacturing #Innovation

The demand for patient-specific ankle solutions is rising, with a growing emphasis on personalized healthcare. US companies are increasingly targeting this market, recognizing the need to tailor ankle solutions to individual patient needs for improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. restor3d recently announced the launching of new Foot & Ankle offerings. As quoted by Ken Gall, co-founder, and Chief Commercial Officer at restor3d, in a recent BONEZONE Magazine | OMTEC Expo article: "Launching the Total Talus Replacement is a critical step towards distinctive patient-specific solutions for treating complex foot and ankle pathologies. The system is a culmination of innovation in design automation driven by AI, advanced 3D printing manufacturing of Cobalt Chrome alloy, and is backed by robust clinical evidence". In a recent article on ORTHOWORLD Inc., Stryker talks about the tidal wave opportunity for Total Ankle Replacement. As quoted in the article "Still, 80% of all ankle arthritis is addressed through fusion. Only 20% is done through total ankle, so this is still on the forefront of just exploding." Gary Justak at Enovis discussed Enovis' aggressive growth trajectory in this space in Q4 2023. From a business unit that did not exist at Enovis, they are now on track to be a hundred-million-dollar business unit soon. This has been accomplished through heavy M&A and increased focus on internal product development. As stated in the ORTHOWORLD Inc. article, last year, #Enovis spent more, as a percentage of revenue, on R&D than any other dedicated foot and ankle company in the space. The Enhatch team is also excited about the growth of this space.

| EOS Case Study - Alphaform – Implants | Alphaform AG is a professional and innovative development and production partner for 3D printing technology, in particular for the manufacture of low[1]volume and niche products as well as series production. Novax DMA specializes in the research, development, production, and marketing of innovative medical technologies. The company is represented in over 15 countries and since 1995 has developed medical implants for trauma-tology, orthopedics, and cranial surgery. Only a porous structure would be capable of meeting the required characteristics. A lattice-structured implant with integrated screw-in fixings all the way to the skull would facilitate both the passage of fluids through it and its fusion with the bone tissue of the skull itself. What‘s more, such a design would have an insulation effect such that the heat dissipation into the cranial cavity would be minimized. The dimensions of the pores themselves are approximately 1mm in size, while the cell-links are approx. 0.2mm thick. Daniel Fiz, CEO of Novax DMA, remembers it well. “Time played an important role in this context. Patients should anyway be receiving their implants as quickly as possible. Once we had the information regarding the dimensions, we began immediately with the construction.” For the 3D design of the implant, they employed the software from the company Within.
