Washington State University researchers developed the first fully synthetic, 3D-printed beating heart model for surgical rehearsal.

Originally reported by tomorrowsworldtoday.com

Washington State University researchers developed the first fully synthetic, 3D-printed beating heart model for surgical rehearsal. The system uses pneumatic actuators and sensors to replicate dynamic function for the 800,000+ cardiac procedures performed annually. This shift from static models to functional, patient-specific replicas significantly reduces reliance on animal models and cadavers. This technology represents a critical leap in precision training and surgical safety. 🫀⚙️ #AdditiveManufacturing #MedTech #3DPrinting #SurgicalTraining
