Recently, three-dimensional (3D) printing has become increasingly popular in the medical sector for the production of anatomical biomodels, surgical guides, and prosthetics. With the availability of low-cost desktop 3D printers and affordable materials, the in-house or point-of-care manufacturing of biomodels and Class II medical devices has gained considerable attention in personalized medicine. Another projected development in medical 3D printing for personalized treatment is the in-house production of patient-specific implants (PSIs) for partial and total bone replacements made of medical-grade material such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK). We present the first in-hospital 3D printed scaphoid prosthesis using medical-grade PEEK with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing technology.
最近,三维(3D)打印在医学领域越来越受欢迎,可用于制作解剖生物模型、手术导板和假肢。随着低成本桌面 3D 打印机和经济实惠的材料的出现,生物模型和 II 类医疗器械的内部或现场制造在个性化医疗中引起了相当大的关注。医疗 3D 打印在个性化治疗方面的另一个预期发展是内部生产用于部分和完全骨置换的患者特异性植入物(PSIs),这些植入物由聚醚醚酮(PEEK)等医用级材料制成。我们使用 FFF 3D 打印技术展示了第一个使用医用级 PEEK 制造的住院 3D 打印舟状骨假体。
