Our approach to patient-specific solutions is multifaceted, including advanced design and planning software, expert planning services & custom implants.
VSP Surgical Planning Solutions Portfolio
VSP Orthognathics
This complete planning service eliminates the need for traditional model surgery. The first step is an interactive web meeting between the surgeon and an engineer where they simulate the procedure, including surgically accurate placement of osteotomies and bony movements. The result is an intermediate and final splint providing the clinical transfer of the digital plan into surgery. Splints are designed with several customizable features, such as minimizing/maximizing occlusal overlap, palatal strutting, sandwich splints, and more.
VSP Reconstruction
This surgical planning solution is intended for head and neck reconstruction. The most widely used application is for mandibular or maxillary reconstruction using the fibula free flap and other vascularized grafts. It can also be used for reconstruction techniques for trauma, congenital defects or tumors of the facial skeleton. Surgeons report that use of the VSP Reconstruction solution enables them to perform these surgeries with more confidence and a three-dimensional perspective as compared to cases without pre-surgical planning.
VSP Cranial
This solution provides virtual surgical planning techniques to craniofacial cases, especially procedures related to craniosynostosis and cases that require cranial vault distraction. Building on the success of the renowned VSP surgical planning solutions, VSP Cranial delivers improved surgical outcomes to surgeons by providing accurate pre-surgical visualization of cuts and movements also personalized marking and positioning guides for realization of a digital plan.
VSP Distraction
These surgical planning solutions for distraction osteogenesis include designing placement of osteotomies, planning of distractor vectors and creation of templates for guidance of device placement, device bending and osteotomy placement. The patient’s 3D anatomy is reviewed during the planning session, and underlying teeth roots and nerves are visualized for proper distractor placement.
VSP Trauma
This solution allows the surgeon to digitally reduce the fractured bony segments prior to surgery. The digitally reduced plan is transferred to the operating room through a series of models, guides, templates, or digital images. Since these are typically time-sensitive cases.
Orthopaedic Oncology Personalized Solutions
Our VSP Orthopaedics offering is a personalized healthcare solution that was developed specifically for orthopaedic oncology cases. VSP surgical planning solutions provide surgeons with the opportunity to pre-plan surgeries prior to entering the operating room. Based on the surgical plan, patient-matched surgical instruments are designed, and 3D printed for sterilization and use in surgery.
Extremities
Within the foot and ankle space, 3D Systems has worked with medical device companies to develop VSP surgical planning solutions to compliment off-the-shelf implants. Surgeons are quickley seeing the benefits of a patient-matched instrument that enables precise implant placement.
