Imaginarium paves path for India’s first hand transplant recovery with 3D Printing solution

The bio-compatible 3D printed orthotic device successfully supported the recovery of a 15-year-old teenager who underwent a complex hand transplant post amputation

Imaginarium, a multi-speciality digital manufacturing business, has announced that the company's customised, bio-compatible 3D printed orthotic device is successfully supporting the recovery of a 15-year-old teenager who underwent a complex hand transplant post amputation.

The youngest person transplant faced a daunting recovery journey as the teenager got electrocuted by 11000-volt electric wires. The complex nature of the surgery and extended recovery period required a specialised approach to ensure proper healing and minimised discomfort.

Imaginarium's custom 3D-printed orthotic device, tailored to the patient's needs, has been crucial in overcoming these challenges.

"We are proud to have played a role in the recovery by pushing the boundaries of personalised healthcare,” said Aashay Mehta, Managing Director and Co-Chairman, Imaginarium. “There’s nothing that requires more customisation than the human body, no two people are the same, and even our left and right sides aren’t identical. That’s why our work is so vital. Whether it's for this surgery or developing patient-specific implants, we’ve been at the forefront of 3D-printed healthcare solutions for
two decades. Our goal is to keep innovating and finding new ways to meet the unique medical needs of each individual."
