Custom-made implants

Customizing veterinary is the future. Our engineering team is ready to create every implant geometry and shape that will fulfil your highest requirements. All implants are developed with advanced CAD-CAE Systems and produced with 3D-Printing technology using Titanium (Ti6Al4V) and PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) materials.

We have designed several types of customized implants such as ITAP, vertebrae, arthrodesis plates and PGR. At bio3dvet we believe that the key to success in complex orthopedic cases is customization.

What makes custom-made implants important:

  • Design that meets patient’s special needs.
  • Better fitting.
  • More precise.
  • Geometry freedom.
  • Easy to install.
  • Lattice and porous structure ensure rapid growth of the bone.
  • Surgery goes faster.
  • Aesthetic and anatomical reconstruction.
  • Faster recovery after surgery.

Titanium Ti6Al4V

Titanium is the most commonly used material for implants in the orthopedic field. Titanium and titanium-based alloys are prized for high mechanical strength, a high strength-to-weight ratio, and better corrosion resistance than stainless steel. Implants made of Titanium provide also a reduced risk of tissue reaction.

3D-Printing technology allows us to produce implants that are equally as good as machined models.

PEEK – PolyEtherEtherKetone 

PEEK is a high-performance material, part of the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family. implants may provide a strong, rigid reconstruction along with excellent anatomical fit and contour. PEEK has clear advantages over Ti because of its radiolucency and comparable elastic modulus to the human bone. The modulus of cortical bone, PEEK, and Titanium alloy are 17.7 GPa, 8.3 GPa, and 116 GPa, respectively. In fact, natural PEEK’s modulus is nearly identical to cortical bone’s modulus, while titanium is much stiffer than bone.

Biocompatible resin

Biocompatible resin is perfect for applications that require non-cytotoxic, non-sensitization, and non-irritation properties. At bio3Dvet we use these resins to make surgical guides, anatomical bones and other surgical instruments.
