| According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on December 6, a 4-month-old Staffordshire bull terrier bitten by other dogs, skull fractures, and now are healing, thanks to a new type of 3D print head Cover - Exo-K9. This hood was developed by the University of California, Davis's College of Veterinary Medicine and the Biomedical Engineering Institute specifically for dogs with jaw injuries.  According to the school's veterinarian, the dog, named Loca, suffered severe injuries to other parts of the face as the cheekbones and jawbone broke, but its age is small and temporomandibular joints are easily regenerated through natural bone Healing is therefore the best target for testing Exo-K9 masks. The researchers scanned the CT, learned the details of the injury, and performed a salvage operation, putting it in Exo-K9 hoods and observed that Loca did very well during the three-day hospital stay: almost immediately Eat soft food, obediently took painkillers, tied a cushion on the neck bandage, no toys or anything that can bite .A month later, CT scan showed that the puppy's temporomandibular joint bone regeneration occurred And, it can eat raw foods to help the joints get well. Approximately three months later, Loca underwent a third cone beam computed tomography scan and the veterinarian found that the previous site had healed well, concluding: 'All indications are that the Exo-K9 hood is one for maxillofacial injuries Kind of feasible method. |
