3D printing plays an increasingly important role in the medical sector and particularly in surgery. Nowadays, numerous manufacturers benefit from this technology to produce their medical devices and some hospitals have also purchased 3D printers. In this context, the aim of the present study was to study the distribution and the use of 3D printing in French hospitals in order to its main features in surgery. By conducting a national survey, we targeted hospitals equipped with 3D printers and those using external providers to benefit from this technology. Forty-seven hospitals were identified as using 3D printing including eight equipped with in-house 3D printers. This work gives us a first picture of 3D printing for hospital use in France and it raises questions about hospital pharmacists' involvement in 3D printed medical device production.
3D打印在医疗领域，尤其是外科手术中发挥着越来越重要的作用。如今，众多制造商受益于这项技术来生产他们的医疗设备，一些医院也购买了3D打印机。在此背景下，本研究的目的是研究3D打印在法国医院的分布及使用情况，以便了解其在外科手术中的主要特点。通过开展一项全国性调查，我们的目标是配备3D打印机的医院以及那些利用外部供应商以受益于这项技术的医院。共确定了47家使用3D打印的医院，其中8家配备了内部3D打印机。这项工作让我们初步了解了法国医院使用3D打印的情况，并引发了关于医院药剂师参与3D打印医疗设备生产的问题。
