Iranian Company Makes Device to Produce Patients' Specific 3D Printed Anatomical Models
“Making a 3D physical model of the patient's skin lesion is a template that is made from the patient's CT scan and medical images before surgery, and is handed over to the surgeon for reconstructive surgeries,” Mohammad Sadegh Tavaloli, managing director of 'Narges Fanavaran-e Fars' knowledge-based company told ANA correspondent at the Asr-e Omid exhibition held at Islamic Azad University, Sirjan branch, in the Southeastern province of Kerman.
“This 3D printed lesion plays the role of a template, especially in surgeries that require creating a mesh, such as reconstructive surgeries of the skull and face.”
“The 3D printed lesion replica allows the surgeon to perform the cutting, measuring and shaping of the titanium mesh comfortably and accurately before entering the operating room. This sample can also be used in occupational medicine. It causes ergonomic issues and problems to be warned to the labor force,” Tavaloli continued to explain.
He said that they are working on different types of specialized medical and anatomical moulages in addition to 3D skin lesion models.
According to the researcher, Moulages are a type of replica that represents a part of the body. These moulages will facilitate medical education and treatment. One of the important points of the product is the capability to zoom in, zoom out and cut at different stages.
“The provided products and services have a special application in medical treatment and education,” he concluded.
Asr-e Omid (Age of Hope) exhibition was held on the campus of Islamic Azad University-Sirjan branch in the city of Sirjan located in the Southeastern Kerman Province on May 22-June 1, 2023.
