3D printing firm 3D Systems has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its VSP Orthopaedics virtual surgical planning software.
The software is designed to support presurgical planning for orthopedic procedures by allowing clinicians to examine 2D patient imaging data in the form of virtual 3D models, as well as to simulate complex procedures using the virtual models. Clinicians also have the option of collaborating with the company's biomedical engineers to create 3D-printed models based on the virtual models for use in the operating room.
VSP Orthopaedics will only be available through the Onkos Surgical My3D image-viewing platform.
