J 3d Printing in Medicine: 3D Printing – an avenue for accessible innovation in urology

Yes, we know it looks like a mutant donut, but it is actually a CAD design for a urostomy simulator.

Today’s topic is 3d printing in urology, and how 3d printing can help patient education through a simulated urostomy! This low cost, simple device can help patients adjust to life-changing surgery, and demonstrates how quickly an idea can go from concept to prototype using CAD and 3d printing techniques.
