3D Printing as the Future in Prosthetic Operations

2015-06-03 6

Modern prosthetics can be produced through the use of 3D printing. This can revolutionize the way in which artificial limbs are produced custom tailored to patients' needs, improving the quality of the disabled. Invented in Argentine, the technology is available in Nicaragua through a local engineer with a 3D printer. A Nicaraguan family with a son who was missing an arm since birth was the beneficiary of this technological feat. teleSUR
