Our Applications of Silicone Additive Manufacturing in Healthcare

Our healthcare-focused products are perfectly suited for surgical simulations, enhancing the skills and precision of medical professionals, testing and validating medical devices, or even serving as medical devices themselves.

Surgical simulation

Surgical planning, also known as preoperative preparation, is an essential step in ensuring the success of complex surgical procedures.

Patient-specific functional twins developed by 3Deus Dynamics provide precise replicas of a patient’s anatomy, accurately reflecting mechanical, dimensional, and morphological characteristics.

Compatible with medical imaging these models enable surgeons to visualize pathologies, plan procedures, and practice techniques, helping to minimize risks during complex surgeries.

Improved surgical precision

Patient-specific functional twins
Our patient-specific models are derived from medical imaging data, including MRI, CT, and X-ray scans. These models accurately replicate a patient’s anatomy and pathologies, enabling a high degree of personalization in surgical planning and simulation.
Realistic operating conditions
Our anatomical models enable lifelike surgical simulations by reproducing the tactile sensations of real tissue, including elasticity, resistance, and texture. They can be integrated into surgical setups and perfused with liquid to simulate blood flow, enhancing the realism of procedures.

Surgical Risk Management

Reduced Risk of Complications
Advanced anatomical visualization provides surgeons with a detailed understanding of complex anatomical structures and pathologies. It allows them to practice or adapt their technique in a controlled environment thus minimising the risk of complications.
Reduced Costs to Healthcare Systems
Using our models in surgical simulations reduces the likelihood of errors and corrective surgeries. This results in lower overall costs for healthcare systems, optimizing resource allocation and improving efficiency.

Applications Across Specialties

Models for Diverse Organ Systems
Our anatomical models are designed to replicate complex geometries across a variety of organ systems – from the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to the urinary, digestive, nervous, and ENT systems. Each model captures the unique anatomical features of its respective organ system.
Proven Applications in Complex Procedures
Our models have been instrumental in supporting advanced surgical procedures, including bypass surgeries, aneurysm repairs, arterial dissections, and cardiac interventions for both adult and pediatric cases. Surgeons have also utilized them for thoracic operations, tumor resections in oncology, and the correction of congenital hand deformities in reconstructive surgeries.
