BioSculpture Technology, a company of surgeons at the New York City Center Hospital and the New York Presbyterian Surgery, Robert Cucin, is said to have recently developed a new surgical instrument using 3D printing technology to treat obesity.
Liposuction, a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from body parts, is currently used primarily in patients with obesity. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the number of people doing liposuction surgery in 2016 has increased by more than 16% compared to 2015.
Dr. Jack Fisher, president of ASAPS, said that the increase in liposuction can be attributed to the emergence of innovative technologies such as 3D printing, which have successfully reduced the risk of liposuction.
“Technological advances and small wounds are making these “new†surgerys even more attractive. More and more people are starting to invest again,†Dr. Fisher said.
BioSculpture Technology is one of several companies that are currently experimenting with 3D printing technology. The company is also using this emerging technology to allow patients to receive safer and more effective bariatric surgery.
For most surgical procedures, the time, procedure, and overall efficiency of liposuction surgery are heavily dependent on the quality and ability of the surgical instrument. If a surgeon is provided with a specially tailored and designed medical device, the operation time will be reduced and the risk of surgery will be greatly reduced for the patient.
Using 3D printing technology and 3D imaging technology, Dr. Robert Cucin, CEO of BioSculpture Technology, is trying to make the right medical equipment for liposuction surgeons.
Dr. Cucin said that most manufacturers and surgical device developers have not noticed how important human organ accuracy is when developing medical devices because the external and internal organs of the human body are quite fine, if the surgical medical device is perfect. Adapting to human organs can reduce the risk of liposuction to a certain extent.
Despite numerous attempts and numerous errors, Dr. Cucin's team is still working hard to develop medical devices that optimize liposuction procedures and surgical procedures. Dr. Cucin's goal is to have customized surgical instruments for each stage of surgery.
Dr. Cucin explained: “Many doctors have put a lot of effort into the safe extraction of fat, but have had little success over the years. Our goal is to make 3D printing technology improve the safety of surgery.†He said: “This A specific 3D printed medical device allows us to place it in a tiny incision that removes fat from the stomach and removes fat that is hidden under the muscles. Know that in the past, if you want to remove these parts Fat can only be cut off. So in general, we are safely taking fat out of people in an unprecedented and innovative way, making people and their ideals getting closer and closer."
The ultimate goal of all liposuction procedures is to minimize the damage to the patient's body and internal structures while safely extracting excess fat deposits. Therefore, after careful analysis of the structure of each muscle, tissue and body part targeted in the fat aspiration operation, the company can fully guarantee the extraction of fat without cutting.
Dr. Cucin pointed out that the combination of 3D printing, 3D imaging and other revolutionary technologies will enable BioSculpture technology and other companies to develop safer devices for patients.
However, weight loss surgery has an incredible risk, and patients are likely to have many unforeseen complications after the recovery process. The NHS is a publicly funded national health care system in the UK that points to common complications such as infections, blood clots, internal bleeding, gastric band slip, food intolerance and gallstones.
Complications such as food intolerance are psychologically uncomfortable compared to physiology. However, BioSculpture says it can prevent internal bleeding, infections and gallstones (which occur in about 20% of people) with 3D imaging aids.
Almost every patient has symptoms such as "skin relaxation" and gallstones. Skin diseases are usually not easy to treat, and once they are ill, they are usually permanent, because the space previously filled with excess fat deposits cannot be reorganized. In most cases, skin complications are mostly caused by unbalanced fat aspiration methods.
However, with the 3D printing structure, researchers can mathematically predict how much excess skin will be produced after extracting a certain amount of fat deposits.
Relevant medical devices made with 3D printing technology will allow surgeons to perform safer and more effective liposuction for patients, giving them a “zero†risk.
