Development of a Women’s Anatomical Model for Custom 3D Printed Biocompatible Pessary Fitting Simulation

EF 2023-24 · 2023-04-03

Résumé
Granville Biomedical has identified an international market opportunity to develop an anatomical uterus model for the purpose of demonstrating and educating health care providers and patients in the measurement, fitting, placement, insertion, and removal of custom pessaries. Pessaries are prosthetic devices that are inserted into the vaginal canal to address conditions such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Such devices are typically prescribed and fitted by a clinician; however technology has advanced to provide opportunities for the 3D printing of biocompatible custom pessary designs that are unique to the individual based on their specific anatomy. Currently there are no known models or methods for accurate clinical training or patient education surrounding the demonstration, fitting, or placement of these pessaries within women’s health. This project is designed to provide such a model.

Description
Granville Biomedical has identified an international market opportunity to develop an anatomical uterus model for the purpose of demonstrating and educating health care providers and patients in the measurement, fitting, placement, insertion, and removal of custom pessaries. Pessaries are prosthetic devices that are inserted into the vaginal canal to address conditions such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

Description (French)
Granville Biomedical a constaté qu’il existait un marché international pour la mise au point d’un modèle anatomique d’utérus destiné à la démonstration et à l’éducation des fournisseurs de soins de santé et des patientes en ce qui concerne la mesure, l’ajustement, la mise en place, l’insertion et le retrait de pessaires sur mesure. Les pessaires sont des dispositifs prothétiques qui sont insérés dans le canal vaginal pour traiter des problèmes comme l’incontinence urinaire ou le prolapsus des organes pelviens. Ces dispositifs sont généralement prescrits et mis en place par un clinicien. Toutefois, les progrès technologiques permettent d’imprimer en 3D des pessaires biocompatibles et personnalisés qui sont propres à chaque personne en fonction de son anatomie spécifique. À l’heure actuelle, il n’existe pas de modèles ou de méthodes connus pour la formation clinique précise ou l’éducation des patientes concernant la démonstration, l’ajustement ou la mise en place de ces pessaires dans le cadre de la santé des femmes. Ce projet est conçu pour fournir un tel modèle.
