When medical care meets 3D printing surgery customization

In 2015, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital ushered in a 27-year-old female patient. She unfortunately suffered from an invasive giant scapular tumor. If she did not cure it, she would have to amputate. In order to save the shoulder of this patient, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital successfully used the titanium shoulder scapula prosthesis manufactured by 3D printing technology for the first time to implant the scapula which replaced the tumor necrosis. Anhui enterprises are involved in the design and implementation of the entire treatment plan.

“At the beginning, I collected the size and shape of the left shoulder bone of Ms. Li, and then printed the artificially produced scapula model of the resin material. Then I designed the surgical plan through this model, marked the surgical screw hole and cut the boundary on the model, and then according to The model produced a titanium alloy artificial shoulder blade.” Lu Wentang, co-founder of Shenzhen Changlang 3D Technology Co., Ltd. and the head of Anhui Changlang 3D Technology Co., Ltd., said that the titanium alloy artificial shoulder blade manufactured by 3D printing technology can be described as tailor-made. match. Surgical treatment cost about 100,000 yuan. Ms. Li was an operation in early April of that year. She was discharged a few days later and returned to normal life after half a year.

The patient is "blessed" and spends a small amount of money to cure the disease.

Today, people are no longer new to 3D printing . From mechanical parts to buses and airplanes, from Dubai, the world's first 3D printing office to Beijing's double-decker 3D printing villa, 3D printing has more and more results. 3D printing technology has entered the medical field, and the sparks are even more amazing – it can accurately print out the tablets and privately-tailored “human bones”, helping doctors to break through the medical exclusion zone and complete surgery that they could not even think of in the past. So, how far is this technology from universal promotion?

Lu Wentang told reporters that Changlang 3D Technology Co., Ltd., located in the Taihe Modern Medicine Industry Cluster Development Base in Northwestern Yunnan, is working to build the largest 3D printing application center in the Central Plains, integrating material production, equipment manufacturing, technology research and development and public services. Speed ​​up the popularization of 3D printing technology in the medical field.

"3D printing is widely used in the medical field and is bringing about tremendous changes in the medical field." For example, Lu Wentang said that friends who have had a broken arm must be impressed by the hanging plasterboard, which is not used now, through three-dimensional scanning. Technology and 3D printing technology "Private-made" medical protective gear that fits perfectly with your skeletal muscles and protects the injured arm. “In the past, professional athletes’ medical protective gears cost tens of thousands of tens of thousands of dollars. A set of 3D printed protective gear may only cost more than 1,000 yuan, and the effect is better.”

Different from the “material reduction manufacturing” process of traditional manufacturing, 3d printing adopts “ additive manufacturing ”. The product is based on a three-dimensional data model, which is formed by layering “sintering” or “bonding” of the material layer. The whole production process is not limited by any complicated structure and production process. Any product with a complicated spatial structure is produced in the same program in front of a 3d printer. "Therefore, 3D printing can break through the infinite imagination in medical treatment, and it can greatly save costs. It is definitely the gospel of patients to spend a small amount of money to cure a serious illness." Lu Wentang said.
