Device and Implant Design
Successful jaw implant surgery through advanced virtual planning
A man who suffered from an infection of his conventional jaw implant is smiling again. He received a new, custom-fit implant that could be designed by using Mimics and 3-matic software. This case clearly illustrates that using rapid manufacturing technology enables faster, more accurate, better planned implant surgeries than is possible with conventional techniques.
Optimizing stent design with the use of Mimics and numerical simulations
Virtual tests are increasingly important for the design and development of new medical devices, like stents. Mimics is a great tool to get accurate device and anatomical geometry ready for virtual testing through e.g. computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA).
New Stryker Metacarpal Plate: From Design to Market in Three Months Thanks to Mimics
Plating systems currently available on the market to treat bone fractures do not always conform flawlessly to a patient’s anatomy. Mimics assisted in designing a new metacarpal V plate for bone immobilization to overcome this problem, which significantly decreased the duration and costs of the design process.
Mimics Assists in Placement of an Intrabronchial Stent
This case describes how Mimics helped the research team gain insight in their patient's medical condition, suggest a treatment plan and predict and evaluate the outcome. Mimics helped increasing the treatment's accuracy.
Design and Fabrication of Auricular Prostheses by CAD/CAM System
Thanks to Mimics' high level of accuracy, this research team was confident that their final ear prosthesis design was a perfect fit for the patient's physiognomy.
