Advancements in 3D Technology in Casting and Splinting Fuels South & Central America Clinic Casting and Splinting Products Market
The rapid development of 3D printing implies fast penetration 3D printing techniques into the healthcare system, especially for treating fractures. In rehabilitation tool manufacturing, 3D printing technology is applied to orthopedic cast fabrication to create patient-specific features with an appropriate fit and a ventilated structure. The novel casting technology heals the fracture effectively without casting complications. The 3D-printed cast is customized and lightweight.
Patient-specific and 3D-printed casts develop proper fit according to the shape of the injured arm. Thus, the risk of stress concentration can be reduced since large contact areas are created. 3D printing makes the fabrication process simpler and in shorter period, especially in a customized design. On that account, the application of 3D printing in biomedical engineering is growing and promising to be practiced in the future. Also, the customizable hand cast made by using 3D printing technique is reliable and provides comfort and satisfaction to the patients. 3D printing is an evolving technology that has a potential application in treating pediatric forearm fractures. These factors can lead to better patient compliance. The 3D-printed cast proved to be superior in terms of satisfaction, comfort, and perceived function as compared to the fiberglass. Thus, the above-mentioned factors would create significant opportunities for the South & Central America clinic casting and splinting products market in the coming years.
South & Central America Clinic Casting and Splinting Products Market Overview
