CT Inspection Aids Production of 3D-Printed Medical Implants
Ortho Baltic is a medical company based in Kaunas, Lithuania and is the first patient-specific TMJ (temporomandibular joint) endoprosthesis manufacturer in the Baltic states. Endoprosthesis is an artificial joint implant. It is used to replace the loss or lack of functionality of a joint in the body.
In its mission statement, there are two challenges: to change the thought paradigm from “the same implant fits all,” to an individual patient specific view. And to make patient-specific implants affordable for all patients and national healthcare systems in terms of price and delivery.
