Competitive Advantages
- Reduces surgical training time
- Accurate, realistic model of the heart
- Uses raw material that resembles or feels like a heart
Summary
Our inventors have devised a technology that features accurate, realistic models of the human heart. The process generally entails acquiring, constructing, and combining a set of images for the organ. The images are then used to generate a 3D model that is printed using raw material that resembles and feels like a heart. This anatomical 3D model reference has potential for reducing surgical training time as it allows the surgeon to decide how to go about the surgery as well as predict the risks of complication that may arise.
