Orthopedic technical consultation: From research and development to clinical application
Key technical directions
• Metal additive manufacturing (3D ACT trabecular bone structure, titanium alloy/tantalum metal printing)
• Plasma vacuum spray HA coating (VPS-Supravit® patented coating)
• A full-process personalized orthopedic solution (ICOS medical-engineering interaction platform, covering preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation, and postoperative follow-up)
• CF/PEEK composite orthopedic implants (carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone) - Led by Weigao Orthopedics as a national key project, with Dr. Ren Yibin in charge of the clinical transformation project.
Consultation mode and resources
• Online/offline dual channels: Continental Hospitals offer 24×7 online orthopedic expert consultation, and image materials can be uploaded for secondary opinions; Offline appointments can be made for clinical Kols from leading enterprises such as Weigao, Microport, and Aikang
• R&D outsourcing: Integrated service of "technology transfer + technology consultation + testing", with 3D printing and additive manufacturing equipment manufacturing capabilities
• Regulations and Registration: Establish a metal 3D printing quality system in compliance with FDA/CE/NMPA, and provide guidance on registration applications.
Typical cooperation scenarios
• Hospital department: If joint or spinal implants need to be upgraded - > Conduct imaging assessment first - > ICOS customization - > Microport or Weigao contract manufacturing - > Postoperative follow-up data transmission
• Start-up company: Possessing digital orthopedic software -- > Signing technical consultation agreements with Microport/Aikang -- > Quickly obtaining clinical scenarios and registration guidance.
Dental technology consultation: The entire process of digital dentistry
Key technical directions
• Digital denture design/production: CAD/CAM all-ceramic crowns, Bridges, and veneers; Pure titanium cutting bracket; Invisible orthodontic appliance
• High-end imaging: CBCT + intraoral scanning + 3D facial photography, achieving a closed loop of "diagnosis - design - production"
• Laser and immediate chairside repair: Italian FARO laser treatment device + German CEREC in-mouth milling equipment.
Consultation mode and resources
• Clinic level: An overall solution of "dental technology consultation + operation management + equipment/consumables package"
• Technician end: Focus on denture design and technical consultation. You can refer to its model to find alternative resources
• Cloud platform: Some manufacturers have launched "cloud impression printing" - oral scanning data upload → cloud design → return of cutting/printing files within 24 hours → Immediate tooth fitting at the local chair.
Typical cooperation scenarios
• Public dental departments: A digital center needs to be established -- > Conduct CBCT + oral scan equipment selection consultation -- > Technician training + process SOP -- > Long-term technical agreements should be signed with third-party technical laboratories
• Chain clinic: Preparing to carry out invisible orthodontics - > Complete case screening, plan design, and membrane supply chain integration through a dental technology consulting company.
