perform complex endovascular surgeries,” says Prof. Dr. Dorweiler. “With 3D printed patient-specific aortic models in clear transparent material, the trainees can practice endovascular procedures and learn difficult WireSkills using the accurate replicas of blood vessels. For healthcare, it is crucial that we continue to leverage the capabilities of 3D printing for medical training, education and research for future breakthrough-implementation.” Rene Martin, Business Manager Healthcare EMEA, Stratasys, concludes: “The pioneering use of 3D printing witnessed today underpins why the University Hospital Mainz is at the forefront of German medical research and development. Leveraging high resolution 3D printing, the ability to
replicate patient-specific anatomy is enabling physicians and surgeons to quickly plan, practice and determine lifesaving surgical approaches – not only to improve patient care and outcomes, but also mitigate risk and reduce costs.” n MPF Stratasys Ltd. | www.stratasys.com
