| Although the concept of 3D printer has been proposed for many years, but it seems we did not see in life, so we always think that 3D printers seem far away from us.Recently, a 4-month-old Loca after a serious injury, Dying, then taken to the University of California Davis Veterinary Hospital for emergency surgery, during the treatment, 3D printed masks in the treatment process has played a key role in the following Let's look at the specific What is going on. 
In this 'dog-eating world', the young Staffordshire bulldog was seriously wounded in a brutal bite, his right chin completely broken and his neck stabbed in. These rebuilds were not normal at the College of Veterinary Medicine They contacted the University of California at Davis for dental and oral surgery services and got the help of a biomedical engineering student at the College of Engineering.According to a spokesman for the California State Center, Loca was set A cone beam CT scan under general anesthesia was performed to characterize her degree of injury. The scan showed her facial bone, mandible, temporomandibular joint injury, and small fractures of the cervical vertebra, followed by salvage surgery from the right Zygomatic arch and the right tail of the mandible to remove bone fragments.
The BME student's TEAM lab is located across from the campus of the Veterinary Hospital, so masks can be immediately rushed by the end of the second day and they are able to 3D print this customized maxillofacial by using a 3D model of the canine face CT scan Recover the device, the so-called Exo-K9, which means it will be a good fit and provide the support needed to help her get back on the road to recovery.
The spokesman said: 'Loca was doing very well during her three-day hospital stay.' She began eating soft food almost immediately and was comfortable with her painkiller. In addition to the Exo-K9, Loca was equipped with a cushioned neck bandage Stabilized neck fracture and limited her range of activity during the healing process.In addition to strict soft diet and mandatory neck braces, chewing toys have also been banned for more than a month to allow puppy chin time to get Proper treatment now almost completely returns to normal, minus some teeth that were not properly repaired. Surprisingly, it is far from the first time to use 3D printing technology to bring the injured puppies back together. Previously we have looked The 3D printing replaces the teeth, and the canine limbs repair conventional prostheses or advanced bio-based teeth.I hope this will be the last place to be patched, but if not, we can always rely on 3D printing to help. This is just a small example of 3D printers, I believe However, with the 3D printer technology continues to mature, I believe 3D printer technology will shine in our lives. |
