The Belgium-based 3D printing and software company Materialise has signed an agreement with Swiss orthopaedic producer Mathys Ltd Bettlach for the use of the Shoulder Guide System.
Materialise’s Shoulder Guide System consists of patient-specific surgical guides for shoulder surgery created with their 3D surgical planning software and 3D printing. It allows surgeons to efficiently and accurately plan surgeries based on the patient’s anatomy.
“Through our collaboration with Mathys, our goal is to enable even more surgeons to discover the benefits of 3D printing in the planning and execution of total and reverse shoulder replacement surgeries”, Hilde Ingelaere, Executive Vice President of Materialise’s Medical Segment, states. “It is through partnerships like this that we at Materialise continue realizing our mission of developing innovations that result in a better and healthier world.”
Ronald Lenzeder, Director Marketing of Mathys, said, “Since 1958, Mathys has been committed to offering our clients and their patients the best possible restoration of quality of life. By including Materialise’s Shoulder Guide System in our portfolio, we are able to deliver on this promise by helping surgeons achieve more predictable surgical outcomes through the use of pre-operative planning and 3D printed patient-specific guides.”
