Rimasys – gold standard partnering with Axial3D
Axial3D has partnered with Rimasys to provide 3D models for training purposes. André Passon, co-founder of Rimasys, talks about this partnership and its benefits in the video below. They created a life-like training simulation called Trauma Academy, which provides high fidelity training for orthopedic and trauma surgeons. It prepares surgeons for every step of the procedure […]
When a partnership with AWS is more than a partnership
On the 14th June 2021, we were lucky to have the opportunity to sit with a friend of the company Sandy Carter, the Vice President of Public Sector Partners and Programs of AWS (Amazon Web Services) to discuss Axial3D & AWS’s unique partnership offering. Sandy was able to explain to us her unique vision into […]
How patient-specific anatomical models are transforming pre-operative planning
Increasingly, clinicians are using 3D printing to create tactile 1:1 models of anatomical areas, replicated exactly from their patients’ scans, which can be held in-hand and used for pre-operative planning, surgical simulation, and collaborative team working. These patient-specific anatomical models are often used to aid patient communication and consultation, to show and explain to patients […]
How 3D modeling can increase operating room throughput
It’s no secret that COVID-19 wreaked havoc with surgical capacity in many hospitals across the country, leading to the cancellation or deferral of millions of elective procedures and resulting in a significant backlog of surgeries. It has left hospital systems across the US wondering how they can quickly and safely increase operating room throughput to […]
Transforming patient education with 3D modeling
Every surgeon is familiar with the scenario, whether you’re in orthopedics, cardiology, neurosurgery or traumatology. The surgery has been mapped out, you’re confident in your approach but the patients are unsure whether to consent because the case is complex and the procedure is hard for them to understand. They are desperate not to make the […]
4 burning issues for surgeons
Every surgeon wants to deliver gold standard care to all their patients but what are the issues that are impacting on their ability to do that and how can those issues be resolved? 1. The need to improve the precision of both the planning and the procedure phases of the surgery Better planning leads to […]
How Segmentation-as-a-Service will underpin the patient-specific treatment revolution
The drive towards patient-specific treatment is accelerating as technological and medical advances open up the opportunity to deliver affordable, personalized care. This will take into account genomics and the individual’s biological, physiological and anatomical characteristics, and will include patient-specific implants. In the future, the idea of using off-the-shelf surgical implants could become as anachronistic as […]
Why Segmentation-as-a-Service™ is central to meeting future demand for 3D modeling
The use of 3D modeling is transforming the approach to complex surgical procedures worldwide, delivering better pre-operative planning, reduced intraoperative time, quicker recovery rates and more efficient theater scheduling. Yet for all its undisputed benefits, the demand for 3D modeling is currently constrained. Primarily, this is down to the practicalities of funding. For example, in […]
