When it comes to adopting the latest 3D printing technology for cranio and maxillofacial implants, 3D Gens is at the forefront of this innovation.
Established in 2016, the company strives to become the pioneer of 3D printing in Malaysia and an accredited manufacturing company for biomedical devices. Its Logic Patient Implant™ via Additive Manufacturing serves a niche area that customises medical implants and devices - including patient-specific anatomy models, custom implants, and surgical tool devices for neurosurgery, oral and maxillofacial procedures.
As the winner of the Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2021 in the Biotechnology - Healthcare Technology (3D) category, Logic Patient's conception demonstrates how technology can be a driving force in impacting change in people's lives.
Why Patient-Specific Implants?
Traditionally, surgical operations - both before and during surgery - are limited to 2D data for analysis. Since planning is based on CT scans, there is no simulation before the operation. Logic Patient allows surgeons to refer to 3D data visualisation and simulation information for surgical planning. For cases that require a multidisciplinary approach, 3D anatomical models are provided.
With Logic Patient-Specific Implant (PSI), in-situ trial-and-error implant dimensioning is eliminated. The result is shortened operation time and reduced surgical risk.
