3D printing technology has made a breakthrough in the medical field: the world's first 3D printed heart catheter surgery is successful
Recently, a hospital in Melbourne, Australia, successfully performed the world's first home-to-home heart surgery using 3D printing technology to rebuild a healthy heart function for a patient with heart disease.
At present, the patient's heart function is severely damaged due to congenital heart disease, and the traditional surgical methods are facing sudden challenges and risks. The medical team decided to use 3D printing technology to customize a bionic heart portal according to the patient's heart structure and condition.
3D printing technology, doctors have precisely manufactured an artificial heart emergency device that exactly matches the size and shape of the patient's heart. This first aid device is not only durable, but also has excellent biocompatibility, which can effectively replace the heart part of the substitute and restore the heart function of the patient.
operation was a perfect success. The patient recovered well and the heart function specialist returned to normal. This successful case shows the great potential and application prospect of 3D printing technology in the medical field.
experts pointed out that with the continuous development and application of 3D printing technology, customized medical products will become more popular, providing patients with personalized and accurate treatment plans. In the future, 3D printing technology is expected to continue to play an important role in medical devices, prosthetic customization, tissue engineering applications and other fields.
This landmark breakthrough in 3D printing medical technology has aroused the attention and discussion of the global medical community, and has brought new development opportunities and hopes to the industry.
