When silicone, which has material advantages such as excellent biocompatibility, softness, and adjustable tactile height, meets the "omnipotent book" 3D printing, the medical field is moving towards "precision medicine" and "customized medicine". A big step forward in that direction. From complex operations related to the heart, to private ostomy bags for postoperative care, and the medical progress brought about by silicone 3D printing, let’s take a look:

More Precise Surgery: Silicone 3D Printed Preoperative Models
In the face of complex operations, doctors have great responsibilities. They must make decisions quickly and accurately, without allowing a single error. How to know everything well before the operation and plan strategies?

Preoperative simulation model
Using 3D printing to restore the patient's organ to be operated on 1:1, the doctor can determine the key parts and practice before the operation. Especially in the face of difficult and complex operations, 3D printing can help doctors improve accuracy and reduce surgical risks. However, there are individual differences and complexities in the organs of patients. To achieve a 1:1 restoration as much as possible, materials are very important. Silicone is the ideal material, with its lifelike feel, adjustable shape and softness to fit as closely as possible to the patient's organs. Therefore, it is very suitable as a material for preoperative simulation models.

More fitting care: silicone 3D printed ostomy bag
The postoperative care of cancer patients has always been a topic in the medical field, especially in my country, about 100,000 patients undergo enterostomy operations for low rectal cancer each year. These patients need to stick an ostomy bag on the abdominal wall to collect excrement. How to enable them to live a convenient, safe and dignified postoperative life?
