Prototype development in healthcare
Our goal is the development of medical technologies using innovative prototypes and simulators. We support medical education and clinical work with quick prototype development techniques: 3D scanning, modelling, printing, casting and metalworking. During validation and utilisation of RDI projects, we work in close collaboration with the Medical Skills Education and Innovation Centre and the UP CC Biomechanical Laboratory.
The Medical Skills Education and Innovation Centre provides a realistic environment for testing prototypes where doctors and students can try them out, give feedback for further development, while the Biomechanical Laboratory conducts precise surveys about the performance of prototype, helping developers in optimisation.
Prototypes and simulators make testing and fine-tuning new medical technology solutions possible before they enter clinical practice. This increases the recovery chances of patients and contributes to the improvement of healthcare quality.
Our main activities are developing education mock-ups and medical simulators, designing and small series manufacturing of surgical, therapy and rehabilitation tools and accessories, preparing spare parts, redesigning existing parts and decompiling them into production plans. We aim to improve the efficacy and safety of medical education and the quality of patient care with innovative solutions.
Our main tasks include the development of a 3D printed myoelectric upper limb prosthesis and a cost-efficient exoskeleton, the design of a portable 3D printer, the design and production of personalised cranial implant moulds, a lens free microscope and several manual skill development medical technique simulators.
We cooperate with universities, research institutes and hospitals in order to incorporate the latest technologies and scientific results into our developments.
