3D Printed Implants Improve Integration of Amputee Prosthetic Devices with Bone Medical
A new study evaluated two additive manufacturing methods for producing either fine or coarse textured titanium implants and compared the strength of bone integration, interlocking, and torque in rats given one or both types of the implants in the distal femurs. The ability to apply this technology to customize implant surface textures and geometries to match the specific anatomy of human amputees is increasingly important as the trend in prosthetic devices moves toward transcutaneous osseointegrated implants rather than socket-cup fitting devices, according to an article published in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing website until July 20, 2017.
3D Printing Helps Cardiothoracic Surgeons Create Custom Tools Medical
As a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, Richard Trimlett knows a few things about the heart. He and his colleagues in the U.K. perform 35,000 heart surgeries every year on average. Trimlett typically begins an open-heart surgery by stabilizing the heart with a suction device. But a minimally invasive procedure called keyhole heart surgery is even more delicate.
Scientists Experiment with Nano 3D Printing to Help Patients Heal from Heart Attacks 3D Printing Processes
In a major 3D printing story that attracted the attention of Newsweek (a magazine also known for writing articles claiming that 3D printing is over), a nano 3D printing technology generally known as Two-Photon Photopolymerization (2PP) was used by Brenda Ogle, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, to create a patch that doctors could apply to help a patient heal in case of myocardial infarction (i.e. heart attack).
3D Systems Launch Certified Partner Program for Medical Implants Medical
3D Systems have started a new certified partner program for medical device additive manufacturing companies to offer secure and premium services for medical device companies. rms Company is the first to join this new quality supply network and will focus on design, development and manufacturing of medical implants using 3D Systems’ Direct Metal Printing (DMP) technology.
SI-BONE Receives Clearance from FDA to Release the iFuse-3D Implant in US Medical
The iFuse-3D Implant by SI-BONE combines the patented triangular shape of the iFuse Implant with a proprietary 3D-printed porous trabecular surface and unique patented fenestrated design to promote bone ongrowth, ingrowth, through growth and intra-articular fusion
New Silicone 3D Printing Method by University of Florida Could Benefit Millions of Patients 3D Printing Processes
For the millions of people every year who have or need medical devices implanted, a new advancement in silicone 3D printing technology developed at the University of Florida promises significantly quicker implantation of devices that are stronger, less expensive, more flexible and more comfortable than anything currently available.
