3D-Printed Cut Guides
The 3D-Side technology provides a patient-matched, single use, 3D-printed surgical instrument in the form of an osteotomy or bone resection guide. Based on digital, preoperative planning (CT), the guides are intended to assist physicians in bone marking and performing precise bone cuts in deformity correction and bone tumor resection surgeries. A draft treatment plan is submitted for evaluation to the treating clinician. Upon the surgeon’s approval, a PSI is designed, approved by the surgeon, and the guide is 3D-printed and shipped to the hospital. A full 3D model of the bony structures can also be provided for visualization and patient education.
