Stratasys has announced the launch of its J5 Digital Anatomy 3D printer, the latest innovation designed to address the growing demand for cost-effective, high-fidelity anatomical models.
Stratasys
This Stratasys innovation is designed to enable hospitals, medical device manufacturers and research institutions to enhance patient outcomes, streamline operations and bring products to market faster.
Stratasys hosted an official reveal of the printer on 25th June at 2:30 pm (Pacific) at RAPID + TCT.
Key benefits for customers:
- Enhanced surgical planning: The J5 Digital Anatomy printer produces life-like, patient-specific anatomic models that allow for pre-operative surgical planning and may assist in reducing operating room time and associated costs. Using such models also assists in improving communication between the medical staff and between the staff and their patients.
- Experience anatomy "like never before": Unique realism in cost-effective training resources, increasing accessibility to affordable teaching tools.
- Accelerated development: The ability to create precise, repeatable anatomical models that enable rapid iterations in medical device development, potentially reducing the need for animal testing and shortening time to market.
“The J5 Digital Anatomy printer is designed to be user-friendly and facility-friendly, making advanced anatomical modelling accessible to a broader range of medical institutions,” said Erez Ben Zvi, VP medical, Stratasys.
Product capabilities:
- Biomechanically accurate materials: Supports the production of models that mimic the behaviour and response of real human tissue, skeletal structures and vasculature, providing realistic haptic feedback for procedures such as suturing, incision, and screw insertion, while bearing true-to-life radiopacity characteristics with supported imaging.
- Compact and accessible: The J5 Digital Anatomy printer is an easy to use, office-friendly printer with a small footprint and a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
