US-based company MedCAD has announced that its AccuPlate reconstruction plates for the mandible and midface are now manufactured using 3D-printed titanium. The 3D-printed plates offer not only shorter delivery times but also enhanced geometries and features to meet a wide range of surgical needs and complex reconstruction requirements.
“MedCAD’s expansion of 3D titanium printing capabilities has enabled us to reduce delivery times dramatically for our high-demand implants while offering more design features requested by our customers,” said Nancy Hairston, CEO and president of MedCAD. “These improved turnaround times for each patient-specific plate can quickly provide surgeons with bespoke, creative reconstruction options within timeframes that were previously unavailable.”
The AccuPlate 3DTi implants are available in thicknesses of 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.6 mm, and 2.8 mm. New features include inferior border hooks, graft trays, and precise allowances for off-the-shelf mesh between the plate and mandible. Additional options include locking and non-locking threaded plates as well as 3D-printed mesh integrated with the plate. The implants can be delivered in as few as five days after surgeon approval.
“The goal of MedCAD’s portfolio of product solutions is to provide surgeons with customizable options that are as anatomically unique as the patients they help treat,” says Hairston. “With MedCAD’s technology in the hands of a creative surgeon, the possibilities are virtually endless, and outcomes are unmatched.”
MedCAD’s new 3D printing capabilities promise to optimize both customization and efficiency, enabling surgeons to respond more quickly and precisely to their patients’ needs.
