Models for veterinary surgical planning

3D printing dog and cat anatomy provides patient specific anatomical models for surgical planning. Planning prior to surgery reduces time under anesthesia, provides help with plate fitting and different surgical approaches can be tested. A physical model also provides an invaluable way to communicate with clients.

Medical 3D Printing Expertise

The entire design and printing process is led by a board-certified interventional radiologist and 3D printing expert. Dr. Michael Itagaki, MD, MBA has used 3D printed models to aid in complex surgery and has published peer reviewed articles on the topic. He is a frequent speaker on medical 3D printing at numerous conferences.
