Patient-matched technology is changing surgery by making the implant conform to the patient, not the patient to the implant.
In this episode, I speak with Nancy Hairston, President and CEO of MedCAD, about her unique journey from sculpture and 3D animation to the development of customized surgical solutions. Nancy explains how MedCAD uses patient imaging to design precise surgical plans, guides, anatomical models, and implants for each individual. We also discuss how these systems can simplify procedures, reduce operating room time, and potentially combine two surgeries into one. Nancy shares how advances in 3D-printed metals have accelerated production and why she believes patient-matched technology has a bright future across healthcare.
Tune in to discover how art, engineering, and 3D printing are making surgery more precise and personalized!
