3D printing used to treat seriously burned children

3DPrintmedical applicationsMore and more progress has been made in other areas.2022Year10moon,According to Mohou.com,Ferrari Romans Pediatric Rehabilitation Center & 3DZ collaborated on a pilot project that increased3DAdvances in printing in the medical field.3DZ is a hotel located in Castelfranco Veneto (TV) of 3D printer distribution company and has extensive experience in this field,3DZ Already used3DPrinter produces facial orthotics that could help treat children with facial burns.

Ferrari Romans is a pediatric rehabilitation center that has been treating severely burned children for many years. The company works with3DZThe goal of the collaboration is to find a more practical way to create orthotics to treat facial burns. To make a facial orthosis using traditional methods, you must take an impression of the face and then use it to create a perfectly flexible replica of the mask. In this method, the face is shaped using plaster strips directly attached to the skin, which may cause certain harm to human skin, especially to the delicate and sensitive skin of children.

SO,3DZ And Ferrari Romans decided to collaborate to create a less invasive and more effective facial orthosis. Essentially, these companies use images of patients’ faces to 3D Scans replace casts. With the help of 3D scanner, they are able to obtain all the details of the patient’s face without touching the skin.

Technicians then use analytics 3D Printers create prosthetics, making them non-invasive and more precise. Thanks to this scanner, the operator can scan the child’s face 3D Scan, it’s a very precise 3D photo ; then use Geomagic Freeform The software processes the scanned files to create the correct face shape. last use form laboratories of Fuse 1 3D Model The printer-printed facial brace silicone device is placed inside the facial brace and massages the burned area and promotes wound healing.

With the help of3DPrint for more effective burn treatment

This pilot project was 2022 Completed at the beginning of the year and achieved excellent results, with3DZ And Ferrari Romans The collaboration was rewarded at the Global Industrial Trade Show, the most important event in the French industrial sector. The French medical center therefore decided to use 3D Printed masks replace the old plaster casting method. “For several years we have dreamed of making molds for treatment without having to come into direct contact with the patient’s burned skin.” Christophe Debate explain. “With the complete 3D The production line can achieve the above goals.Ferrari Romans The developed application is a project that benefits people and is very promising. “3DZ France Director Patrick Ferraris added.
