Use in clinical practice of innovative devices designed in reverse engineering and manufactured 3D printing

The IC researchers collaborated in the development, qualification and clinical use of new customized and / or adaptable immobilization devices realized in polymeric material.

The IC researchers collaborated in the development, qualification and clinical use of new customized and / or adaptable immobilization devices realized in polymeric material.

These devices have advantages of greater comfort, washability, lightness, and transpiration as they are realized with a reticular structure suitable for the mechanical characteristics.
Current activities are devoted to optimization of the production line aimed at reducing costs and processing times of the devices.

In addition to these clinical applications, further clinical studies are underway for the creation of anatomical, physical or virtual models, tailored to the diagnosis, interventional planning and dissemination of complex clinical cases to be qualified and certified as medical devices. These devices derive from a process of acquisition, processing and segmentation of medical images (CT, MRI)
