- Meticuly — "Personalised medical implant solution for better lives", We aim to deliver solutions that improve lives. Our implants are individually crafted to fit each unique patient. Founded in February 2017, Meticuly is a 3D printing medical technology company focusing on personalised implant solutions for bone-related surgeryapplications. Instead of off-the-shelf standard-sized implants to treat patients with bone deformity, Meticuly provides state-of-the-art pre-operative planning, surgical guides, and implants that are tailored to fit individual patients. The implant solution is built on two proprietary technology platforms: AI-assisted design using a cloud-based platform for patient-specific biomechanic, and the manufacturing of surgical guides and implants are based on 3D printing technology in GMP certified cleanroom. After uploading a CT Scan of a patient to our AI cloud server, medical professionals are then provided with surgical assistance through collaborative software to preview the design. Information such as 3D planning, surgical approach, and implant design customization is provided and adjusted in real-time. 3D-printed implant and surgical guides are then manufactured and delivered to the hospital. Information and post-op results are compared with pre-op planning to constantly improve predictive design algorithms. With growing clinical information and cadaveric big data, the post-op clinical outcome of each patient has achieved both functionality and aesthetics. Patients also benefit from less blood loss, less chance of infection, and reduced surgical theater time.
