3D printing is used in several ways in pediatric medicine:
Prosthetics: Customized prosthetic limbs can be produced quickly and affordably, allowing for frequent updates as a child grows. Surgical Planning: Doctors use 3D printed models of organs to plan complex surgeries, improving outcomes and reducing operative time. Medical Devices: Tailored devices, such as orthopedic supports and dental braces, are created to fit the unique anatomies of pediatric patients. Educational Tools: 3D printed models serve as valuable educational aids for both patients and medical students.
