Patient specific implants
PlayAt CADskills, we believe that customized surgical replacements will soon become standard treatment for dysfunctional bones and joints. Our CADskills team helps clinicians design a bespoke implant based on CT or CBCT data in the DICOM format and clinical pictures of the defective anatomy. The masterpieces are in-house, computer-aided manufactured using 3D printing. CADskills uses Titanium gr23 ELI exclusively as a metal to avoid the real threat of sensitization and allergic reactions to cobalt, chromium, nickel and molybdenum, alloys of which (ASTM-F75) are most commonly used to make artificial joints.
