Whether it is prepare for surgery using a 3D model of the organ to be operated on; of allow the patient to concretely visualize the tumor that is attacking themto help him understand the consequences of his operation, or reconstitute an umbilical cord which will serve as a test for nursing students learning to place a catheter… All requests are welcome, for facilitate care and support… but also the economy of the CHU.
Because, and this is not an unimportant detail, the platform can also make a spare part for one of the hospital’s machines, out of stock in the industry, and thus avoid having to change an entire piece of equipment!
“W.print has democratized the use of 3D for the entire hospital, for all our professions. This is an innovation serving the public. And the non-spending that this can generate is also important in this economic model”rejoices Florence Favrel-Feuillade, director of the CHU. Before recalling that the equipment, equipped with nine printers and which benefited in particular from the support of Innovéo, the CHU endowment fund, “constitutes one of the most advanced 3D platforms in France ».
