once they had already bought clothes and
I tell them that a little boy and a
carve a little big to finish maybe
taking you the one that better or not
taking you none good
nowadays medicine is handled a
little resemblance will be asked in what
it may come to look like medicine with
clothing workshop that when it comes to
do an implant let’s say a replacement
of the hip on the implant that gets
generic in surgery puts you in the
what’s better for you
this is a matter of medicine
and health is really disturbing
I imagine that you can live the
rest of his life with the shirt a little
tight a little loose but imagine
have something tight or loose that is going to
be in yours in for the rest
of your life
veneers to have another level of importance
then there is some kind of disaster
implants or there is a type of technology
that can lower this reality two years ago
years more or less with my partners and
friends
matías and lucas we got into the world
3d printing
the idea came to us right here in the
bariloche vacations up to
hill and at the time we were the three
students of biomedical engineering and
We decided to be the tailors and
to be able to give the patient a
customized solution in all
stages of surgery to start
we had to see what the steps will be
by which a tailor passes at the time of
make a garment melilla
the first step is to take the
body measurements the client that is with
what is going to be based to do the rest
From his job
the second step with him the help of
special tools cuts the fabrics
and finally after a test and
of a couple of tweaks
we have for example a sack that is not going to
to be perfect
naturally our project started
by steps and the first thing we develop
It was an instrument analogous to
measuring a tailor
we call them biomodels the good thing that
they have the models is that they are not going to
do any kind of additional study
the patient with a tomography
Computed an MRI
which is general in any kind of
surgery today is selected the
the organ in question becomes a
3d reconstruction on the computer and
Finally it is printed in 3d for
to be able to have it in hand what is
this lifeguard they weed
Vanessa is 38 years old and has a daughter
last year he was diagnosed
malignant tumor in the first
ratification of what I want with the
help of an old model
the doctor alejandro bertotti could not
just take out the tumor successfully
but it can also reconstruct the
airway and save the lung use or
no use united model marked the clear
difference between a young person
with a whole life ahead
live what’s left of it with a lung
or with two lungs
this case besides being a case of great
success because he got the
lung of the patient
it marked me and also my partners
a turning point in what
we did three months later the
surgery was lying on my bed at
twelve at night and I got an email
when the mail
leo vanessa barreiro sounded to me it seems
known the name and I remembered that it was the
name that appeared the tomography
when I have done the reconstruction
between the for Serbian model the
wallet la vega
the truth that I was very excited
but I was recorded a phrase in
the head that said
you are sorry for you
I will be the first in many cases of
success that they will have throughout
their careers but you for me are going to
do until I am too old the
people who gave me the health
here you can size the real effect
what can this piece of plastic have
at the time of performing surgery but
as I mentioned before
the idea is not to stay here and just use
this technology to help in the
planning of surgeries but that
the idea as I told him to offer a
customized solution to the patient in
each and every stage
then what are the steps to follow
nowadays when cutting the
fabrics are being developed
tools that do it more and more
and more precise are called guides
surgical procedures when a surgeon enters
surgery and have to cut for example
a bone not to the electric saw and
cuts and bone to the coarse where you
it seems but uses this instrument that
is mounted on the bone to guide the
saw and that the cut is as
accurate possible but this makes us
go back a bit to the problem of
surgical fall principle is
designed for each surgery and each
patient
not in any way the guide
Surgical today are generic
and most of the time for
mount them you have to cut part of bones
patient rooms
this makes the printing technology
3d and digital design is great
help when it comes to designing and being able to
make a second already surgical
personalized for each patient
well I do not know about you but me
they promised a tailor implants and the
true that the only study talking is
of god planning models
surgical already surgical but
imagine taking these concepts of
digital design 3d printing and now
yes make an implant for example
printed in titanium
now if you close the circle and you
can provide a solution
personalized to the patient in all
stages of surgery can be done a
wink model a surgical guide and a
implant for each patient in each
surgery and getting a little thread
tailor can test the
implant and the surgical area on the
river model so that the surgeon does not
bring any kind of surprise before
when he went into surgery he not only
can play with the design also with
the materials
the truth is that 3d printers today
in day they offer more and more materials
available for printing can be
flexible that to your bow in the design of
Surgery simulators can be god
biocompatible just the implants
they are implantable and can be inside
of the body one person during the rest
of ascents and even biodegradable that
while the person is recovering the
implant is doing reabsorbed by the
body until in a moment
disappears
in short a bit to a high athlete
performance for example if you have a
tumor in a bone
the implant that is put on it is not going to
be designed in the same way or with
the same materials that is designed by
example to me that the only thing I do is
play football weekend with my
friends
as I said before the possibilities that
provides the 3d printing are very broad
in argentina
to date the waiting list of
organ transplant is 7 thousand 558
people
imagine that in this room there are around
of 750 this room ten can be filled
times with the number of people to the
wait for an organ only the year
past you can make 10 percent
of the transplants that is 750 people
imagine in the not so distant future in
that there is no more surreal waiting in
that when the person needs a
transplant of an organ go to a
company or an institution and they print
body between g
I do not talk about material and animated because
can be a bone company in titanium
but a whole organ a kidney
printed in 3d with live cells is not
crazy to think that this can happen
today talking about raw science and
skipping the discussion a little
ethical or moral that can be had about
the topic
there are live rats with impress with
kidney impressions in 13
going a little farther there are two
people in america who are
live with mejías companies in 3d that
they were put because it was the only
way they had to stay alive and
have a full life
I know that these technologies seem taken out
star wars or that are only thought for
first world countries like europe or
united states but I come to tell you that
it’s something that is really around the corner
from the corner you can see how it
peeks cases like Vanessa
use of biomass – NATO well with cases of
they are made to measure
implants that are also made here
same in Argentina what I want them
say
In summary is that this technology in
the next 20 years to be something that
everyone will have lived and will be
very involved in
world of modern medicine and that this
will generate a great improvement in the
quality of life worldwide
thank you very much
