The ASURI project at DO3D Innovations Ltd. aims to enter the patient specific 3D –printed medical implant and surgical guide market with a 3D printing service that integrates the whole patient specific medical implant and surgical guide design and manufacturing process. We provide a scientific evidence based design process and a cost effective manufacturing solution which results in significantly cheaper end products that may be easier financed by private or public health insurance organizations and make patient specific surgical guides and implants accessible to patients. Medical Implants Market is expected to grow to EUR 90 billion by 2022, while global 3D Printing Healthcare Market was valued at EUR 445 million in 2014, and is expected to grow to EUR 1.8 billion by 2020, registering a CAGR of 26.2% during the forecast period 2015-2020. Patient-specific implants, protheses and surgical approaches provide faster recovery and implants match better with the bones around them than traditional implants and conventional surgical techniques. This results in a lower overall healthcare cost (better succes rates for surgery, less recovery time) for healthcare financers. The clinical and economical value of patient-specific surgical approach and implant use is significant in othopedics, where a remarkable part of the surgeries are unconventional ones due to their complexity (e.g. a spinal deformity surgery), extension (e.g. resection of a musculosceletal tumor) or the difficult anatomy (e.g. a revision surgery). Due to its technological superiority the healthcare market for 3D printing is expected to expand ca. EUR 3 billion by 2020. DO3D Innovations foresees a large growth of the personalized medical implant markets as a consequence of the aging societies, therefore we want to make personalized implants and surgical guides accessible to more people.
Our objective is to continue working on our project and proceed to Phase 2 of the SME Instrument.
