3D printed bones from a CT scan
3D printing bones and organs from CT or MRI scans is very simple, quick and can be done using open-source software.
From patient-specific medical applications to customized devices, education tools, and equipment.
A serious motorcycle accident resulted in a spinal injury and a complicated fracture of the patient's left leg. Such cases usually end in amputation or a significant reduction in mobility. However, doctors at the University Hospital in Brno performed a unique series of surgeries that not only saved the patient's life, but also saved his leg and allowed him to walk again without pain or significant limitations. Original Prusa 3D printers played a crucial role in the pre-operative preparation.

Original Prusa MK4S is built around our new 32-bit connected architecture and the next-generation extruder (Nextruder).
The staff of a specialized hospital IKEM in Prague, Czech Republic, uses 3D printers to print models of organs during the preparation for transplantations. The model is used as a tool for doctors, who can examine the organ before the operation begins, so they can detect possible complications even before the procedure – the ability to physically touch the organ in form of a model has proven to be very helpful.

During the coronavirus pandemic, dentists have been among those who put their health on the line. At work, they literally stare right into the potential infection source, and obviously, their patients could hardly wear face masks. Lukas Pekarek, the founder of Asana-dental, came with a simple but ingenious solution – the Asana suction system.
