Apollo Hospitals to establish 3D-printing labs for printing of implants

The lab will provide anatomical models that are life-size replicas of a patient's anatomy, accurately reconstructed from their CT/MRI scans into 3D models, which can be created in multiple materials

The Apollo Hospitals Group has joined hands with Anatomiz3D Medtech Pvt Ltd  for the design and printing of complex implants for domestic and international markets. To start with, the 3D-printing labs will be set up in various Apollo Hospitals for 3D printed implants that would enable doctors to visualise and print implants for complicated cases.

Dr Prathap C Reddy, chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, “It would not be wrong to say that with the hospital 3D-printing labs, the future of healthcare is here! Personalisation of healthcare is the new mantra and advances in genomics and precision medicine are driving personalised prevention
