3D-Printed Inert Anatomical Hand Model

Regulatory classification: Class 1 Medical Device

This ambitious project was spearheaded by Dr. Noé Lucchino, a resident in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery, in collaboration with Prof. Aram Gazarian, Head of Orthopedic Surgery for the Upper Limb at SOS Hands, HCL. Supported by the HCL Foundation and coordinated by CO’Lab 3D, the 3D printing platform of HCL.

Support for Complex Hand Surgeries

A collaborative effort has led to the creating of a 3D-printed medical device designed for planning and training in complex hand surgeries, such as correcting congenital hand deformities in children. This patient-specific anatomical hand model is based on a digital STL file generated through 3D reconstruction using advanced imaging software, enabling high-precision replication of a patient’s hand.

Valuable contributors

3Deus Dynamics: The mimetic skin and arterial network was created using the “Dynamic Molding” additive manufacturing technique.
3d.FAB Platform: Conducted mechanical studies of silicone materials.
3D Medlab: Designed the model and printed the hand’s bony skeleton.

An Ethical and Scalable Training Tool

Designed as a suturable, lifelike alternative to cadavers, the model replicates the scale of a child’s hand. It is a valuable tool for training surgeons to address congenital hand malformations with patient-specific precision.
