Practice hearts make perfect surgery.
The applications for 3D-printing in pediatric cardiac treatment are numerous, and the printing of flexible models to train surgeons on particularly complex cardiac anomalies has always been a high priority for us.
With the help of several surgeons, 3D-printing experts and Form Labs, we have been working to develop a set of complex heart defect models, at a low price point that makes single use realistic.
Cases include:
- Tetrology of Fallot
- Transposition of the Great Arteries (IVS)
- Transposition of the Great Arteries, VSD, PS
- Congenitally-corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries, PS
- Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle, VSD type
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle, TOF type
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle, TGA type
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle, Remote VSD (uncommitted VSD)
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle, AVSD (AV canal)
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle (IVS)
