Axial Medical Printing Limited

Axial3D is an innovative medical technology company based in Northern Ireland. Its mission is to make the use of patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) solutions routine practice for healthcare around the world. To achieve this mission, Axial3D provides their software platform, Axial3D Insight that automatically converts hard-to-understand 2D medical sca...

British Heart Foundation statistics show coronary heart disease (CHD) causes 1 in 6 deaths globally, with 200 million sufferers worldwide, including 2.3 million in the UK. CHD occurs when a patient's coronary arteries narrow because of a build-up of plaque. This artery narrowing is called stenosis. Severe stenosis and certain types of high-risk plaque can...

To plan a surgery to fix broken or diseased bone, surgeons rely on a 2D image, a computed tomography (CT) scan, to visualise the patient's 3D bony anatomy. This is a difficult task for even the most experienced surgeon, leading to many misplanned surgeries. The use of patient-specific 3D bone images derived from a patient's CT scan improves surgical plann...

To develop a system that automatically creates new patient-specific instrumentation products for wrist fracture surgery, making them more accessible and affordable to enhance the outcomes of this type of surgery.

Axial3D provides a sector-leading surgical planning tool, Axial3D-Insight, which is transforming how surgery is planned by converting patient scans into highly accurate 3D images and 3D-printed models. Physicians in 350 hospitals across 25 countries use our anatomical models for pre-operative planning, briefing surgical teams, and for patient consent. Our...

The aim of this Eurostars project is to improve bone surgical care, by providing surgeons with access to safe, fast and efficient 3D printing (3DP) of anatomical structures for surgery planning. 3D models are valuable for surgery planning of complex bone surgeries, allowing for pre-fitting of plates and screws and to optimize a surgical approach. As such,...

Axial3D's vision is to transform the quantity and quality of surgeries that NHS Trusts can complete, as they start to recover from this COVID crisis, with the application of this vision for this project at the Belfast Trust, being to rapidly address the increasing backlog of critical surgeries. Since the start of the COVID crisis, all NHS Trusts have had ...
