Speedy Software Design and Titanium 3D Printing Relieve Nerve Pain with Custom Spinal Implant
“Thanks to its low density and high strength, titanium is one of the most commonly used metals when it comes to 3D printed medical implants for humans, and even for animals. In Australia, we’ve seen a 3D printed titanium implant used to improve a woman’s smile, and last year a cancer patient at the Sydney Spine Clinic in New South Wales had cancerous vertebrae replaced with a 3D printed titanium spinal implant for the first time. The neurosurgeon who completed this risky, life-saving surgery was Dr. Ralph Mobbs, who has a major interest in both minimally invasive and complex spinal surgeries. He also understands the many benefits of using 3D printing technology in surgery…”
