Clinical application of additive manufacturing (3D printing) to create bespoke articulating finger prostheses

Name: Daniel Dunn

Abstract

A case study poster presentation detailing the clinical application of additive manufacturing technology in the creation of articulating bespoke medical devices, specifically for finger loss. The objective to demonstrate the improving and developing capabilities of additive manufacturing and how these technologies can be used to create and innovate new solutions for amputees with finger loss. The study demonstrates that using additive manufacturing in conjunction with other manufacturing processes, new clinical solutions can be created that benefit patients with finger amputations or loss.
