Patient-specific implants for complex reconstruction
Giving surgeons the ability to address challenges of complex reconstructions, implant revisions, and limb salvage procedures when there’s no alternative for the patient.
Additive Manufacturing
Utilising CT scans with 3D Software pre surgical planning, provides the surgeon with an intuitive design process. Plate contour and thickness are planned so the implant matches the defect profile, or ensure screw trajectory is planned to account for patients bone quality.
Surgeon Driven
The surgeon is in full control of every aspect of the design process. Our engineering teams work in partnership with the surgeon to support the design process rather than lead the process.
The team allows the clinician to construct complex, freeform geometries, which allows the creation of Patient Specific implants.
Patient Specific
Ability to address challenges of complex reconstructions, implant revisions, and limb salvage procedures when there is no alternative for the patient. The implant is designed to fit the patient’s unique anatomy. Plate contour, thickness. Bone segment designed to fit defect profile. Screw trajectory planned to account for patient’s bone quality
Avascular Necrosis of the Talus
A patient-specific total talus replacement, designed from the patient’s CT scans to match their anatomy.
Design & Print
Process designed for full accessibility for patient implantation within 5 weeks
Stage 1
Patient Prescription
The design process starts with a patient prescription from the surgeon providing all the details necessary to build the patient profile taking into account all necessary comorbidities, anatomical considerations and patient history and pathology
Stage 2
CT Scans
Full patient profile with 1mm slices. Scans are integrated into the 3D software to provide full anatomical profiling prior to design meeting *Patient data is protected in line with UK GDPR.
Stage 3
Design Consultation & Design Sign Off
Once the patient data has been modelled, the consultation organised to provide full surgeon autonomy for the design of the implant; allowing full consideration of the bony landmarks, screw or plate trajectory, bone density or stress risers
