3D LifePrints Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for EmbedMed Platform

3D LifePrints has achieved FDA 510(k) clearance approval for its Cranio-Maxillofacial products and services. This clearance follows its ISO 13485 medical certification in 2021.
 
3D LifePrints’ EmbedMed Platform is an end-to-end solution for surgeons that digitizes the surgical planning process and enables the rapid design and manufacture of patient-specific medical devices. Its functions include the processing of patient input data from image scan data and it works as a pre-operative software tool for simulating and evaluating surgical planning options. The output files from the system can be provided digitally or as physical models and surgical guides for use in surgery.
 
3D LifePrints has launched in the USA with its base of operations at the Texas Medical Centre in Houston. After Houston, 3D LifePrints will be opening further facilities across the U.S. starting with New York and Orange County, California.
 
Henry Pinchbeck, co-founder and chief executive officer said, “It is our aim for surgeons across the U.S. to have direct access to Personalized Surgical planning and patient-specific devices. EmbedMed works at scale; whether you are a hospital looking to set-up a Point of Care 3D facility or a surgeon that wants personalized devices for a complex case – our highly qualified bio-medical engineers are here to help.”
 
Scott Parazynski, 3D LifePrints U.S. strategy director and former NASA astronaut added, “This clearance is the first step in executing 3D LifePrints’ strategy to bring Personalized Surgery to the U.S. Our facility at the Texas Medical Center, which enables our engagement with hospitals such as Houston Methodist and MD Anderson, will act as the blue-print for a nationwide roll out.”
