Additive manufacturing (AM) isn't just shaping the future of medical devices, it is actively changing lives. As it opens new possibilities for patient care around the globe, innovative 3D design solutions are raising the bar for patient comfort and satisfaction.
Today, Host Fabian Alefeld speaks with Lisa Tweardy, CEO of MIGN, a company leading the charge in innovative spinal brace technology that leverages industrial 3D printing. We have Dr. Baron Lonner, a leader in minimally invasive scoliosis surgery, Isabelle (Liz) Rauch, Orthotist for Dr. Lonner of Orthotic Consultants, and Livi Lasner, founder of Save a Spine, an organization she started to connect those who need spinal braces with the financial support to obtain them. Together they explore how additive manufacturing is revolutionizing not only healthcare but spinal health from a personal and technological perspective.
