3D printing orthopedic braces
Recently, the orthopedics department of Huangchuan County People's Hospital in Xinyang City successfully completed the first customized surgery for external fixation braces based on 3D printing technology. The application of this technology has filled the gap in the field of 3D printing medical technology in the southeastern region of Henan Province.
3D printing technology has shown enormous potential in the medical field due to its characteristics of rapid prototyping, high precision, and personalized customization. The 3D support printing technology used in the orthopedics department of Huangchuan County People's Hospital can accurately obtain the size and shape information of the patient's limbs through rapid 3D scanning and data collection, and then quickly print out external fixation supports that perfectly fit the patient's limbs. This type of support is not only lightweight and breathable, but also highly comfortable, providing patients with a better rehabilitation experience.
According to orthopedic experts in hospitals, 3D printed braces have significant advantages in orthopedic accuracy, wearing comfort, and aesthetic appearance. Compared to traditional handmade braces, 3D printed braces can more accurately match the patient's limb shape, avoiding secondary injuries caused by improper size. At the same time, its personalized design also makes the braces more in line with the actual needs of patients, improving the comfort of wearing.
The introduction and application of 3D printers this time benefited from the landing of "Gao Yanzheng Zhongyuan Famous Medical Studio" at Huangchuan County People's Hospital. As one of the leading figures in the medical field of Henan Province, Professor Gao Yanzheng and his team have brought advanced medical technology and concepts to Huangchuan County People's Hospital. By introducing 3D printing technology, Huangchuan County People's Hospital has not only improved its medical service level, but also provided higher quality and efficient medical services to the county residents.
