Hip implant simulator for virtual surgery training
The team of the Dynamic HIPS are working on a hip replacement simulator that will help future surgeons to practice the intervention.
Augmented reality helps to see, feel and understand
X-ray vision, context-sensitive guidance, coordinator, training assistant and more: augmented reality (AR) has hit the OR.
3D biocomposites can repair large bone defects
Loosening hip implants can cause major damage to the bone and a simple replacement won’t suffice to carry the load during movements. Researchers have turned to bioprinting to solve this problem.
Enhanced safety and precision with semi-automatic milling systems
Professor Dr Henning Windhagen is a great fan of semi-automatic systems in the OR that help with implants but leave the surgeon in the driver’s seat.
3D printing biomedical parts with supersonic speed
Researchers have developed a 3D printing technique that creates cellular metallic materials by smashing together powder particles at supersonic speed.
Grow a better jawbone in your ribs
Engineers have developed a technique to grow live bone to repair craniofacial injuries by attaching a 3D-printed bioreactor.
Are humans too slow for digitalisation?
Today, drones are happily regarded as the pinnacle of digitalisation in healthcare. However, for Dr Dominik Pförringer, “Drones are not even in the top 100 of my wish list for digital solutions."
