A Hungarian team with veterinarian and engineering background creates anatomical models, drilling guides and implants by means of 3D modelling. Similarly to human medicine, they want to introduce personalised veterinarian medicine with the help of digital design and 3D printing.
Visualisation is actually as old as mankind. Even in prehistoric times people depicted animals in cave paintings, supposedly, to project a successful hunting. This form of art evolved approximately 30 thousand years before writing, so it can also explain why numerous people say that they are visual.
How does human medicine affect veterinary medicine? In which fields and how can technological innovations be used in small animal neurosurgery? We discussed these questions and many more with Dr. László Lehner, veterinarian specialised in small animal neurosurgery.
One of the most frequent orthopaedic deformation in small dogs is the dislocation of the patella. Patellar luxation is often a congenital, inherited disorder but it can also be caused by a trauma or an accident. With the help of 3D design and printing, we have created an implant which is considered exceptional worldwide. It is uniquely designed and manufactured for the femur of the given animal. We deliver this product together with anatomical models and surgical drilling guides.
