Medical Reconstruction and Devices
Advanced medical reconstruction based on original shape and form of patient is becoming increasingly available enabled by the process of capturing the original bone shape and structure and making exact fitting replacements. Through the use of DSSP, patient quality of life is maximized while patient recovery is minimized. Geomagic Studio is the platform of choice for a medical industry technology and systems builders to model and drive better medical reconstruction and device solutions for lower cost and best patient experience. Our technology has been used for a variety of applications including:
- Orthopedics– Create custom orthopedic joint replacement reverse engineered for perfect fit.
- Cosmetic Surgery– Increase patient confidence in reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery modeled and visualized.
- Surgery Preparation– Surgeons practice on latex models on critical procedures, prior to reaching operating room.
- Orthotics and Braces– Design perfect fitting orthotic devices, foot pads, heel inserts, joint braces based on shape and form of patient.
- Hearing Aids – Custom manufacture hearing aids with Geomagic eShell from start to finish for optimal fit and maximum production quality.
