ANTIMICROBIAL 3D PRINTING AND ACTIVE MATERIALS!

The Otoscope is one of the most used Medical Devices for its simplicity and versatility when it comes to examining ears, nose and throat.
But it has a weak point. The cone of the otoscope is the piece that comes into direct contact with the ear. It is a plastic piece (hence porous) that accumulates a high bacterial load if it is not cleaned or disposed of properly. This often causes patients (usually children) examined with contaminated otoscopes to leave the clinic / hospital with an otitis that falls within the group of Infections Associated with Health Care (IAAS).
Its manufacture with an antibacterial material such as the PLACTIVE AN3 of Copper3D would be a radical solution to this problem as it is scientifically validated as a completely antibacterial material.
The following project was developed for the posts in Nepal after the earthquake of 2015.
It had an excellent reception since its construction is very low cost. More

ANTIBACTERIAL 3D PRINTED SURGICAL SEPARATOR Surgical separators are key pieces in any operating room in the world. Historically, they have been manufactured in stainless steel, but since it is a “passive” material, it allows to colonize quickly in the presence of even a minimal amount of microorganisms. A study published in the Journal of Surgical Research by the department of surgery of the U. of Arizona


concluded that these pieces can be perfectly manufactured with 3D printing, they take about 90 minutes to built, the final piece easily supports the forces necessary to fulfill its function within an operating room (+ 13Kg of Tangential Force) and only at ONE TENTH of the cost of the original piece of steel. If in addition to all these attributes, we add ANTIBACTERIAL and REUSABLE if manufactured with PLACTIVE OR NANOCLEAN (www.copper3d.com), so we have a new class of surgical, functional, cost-effective, in-situ manufacturing, customizable, reusable separators , that do not need sterilization and completely antibacterial since they are manufactured with an ACTIVE material. #Antibacterial3DPrinting
