Not only observation! 3D printed flexible silicone organ model allows for real surgical procedures

Release date: 2017-08-21

A startup is working on a very interesting 3D printing medical application. Currently, the main use of the surgical 3D print model is that by observing and examining it, the doctor can better understand the condition and prepare for the surgery. But Houston's Lazarus 3D takes this application a step further.

Lazarus 3D has developed a method for printing surgical models with a flexible silicone material that has mechanical properties very similar to real human tissue. Surgeons can perform real surgical procedures on such print models, such as cutting, separating tissue, removing tissue, and the like. This is not a virtual simulation due to the very close reality.

Lazarus 3D can also use 3D scan data from DICOM medical devices to create 3D designs that precisely match the patient's real tissue, and to combine different print sections to provide varying degrees of flexibility, just like human tissue.

In one example, a surgeon performed an actual operation on a 3D printed kidney replica, which in many respects showed incredible truth. It not only contains a simulated tumor to be removed, but also bleeding.

If you want to print such a model in 3D, simply send the data to Lazarus 3D, and they will prepare a fully 3D printed medical organization model for you and send the model to you. This model can improve the quality and speed of human surgery and is definitely an excellent application for 3D printing technology.
