San Diego United Market Utilizes 3D Printing for Custom Splints

By Sam Baxter, San Diego Market Therapy Resource – California


The San Diego facilities are joining forces as part of a new trial that harnesses the power of 3D printing for splinting. This innovative approach aims to provide personalized and efficient splint solutions for patients. By embracing 3D printing technology, these San Diego facilities are hoping to provide a better splinting solution towards a patient-centered approach to care.

The Potential of 3D Printing:

3D printing has transformed the medical industry by enabling the production of customized devices and prosthetics. The San Diego market is exploring its potential for creating tailor-made splints. Unlike traditional methods, which can be time-consuming and result in generic splints, 3D printing allows for highly customized solutions that fit each patient's unique needs.

Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness:

In addition to customization, 3D printing for splinting brings efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Traditional methods require manual craftsmanship, which is time-consuming. With 3D printing, the production process is streamlined, reducing wait times while still being able to bill for services provided.
