Global Health & Pharma (GHP), an information-sharing platform and a multi-disciplinary members community, has announced winners of the 2019 Technology Awards this month and recognised Sinterex as best 3D-printed healthcare products manufacturer – Middle East
In its announcement, GHP said, “Technology is a great force for change across numerous industries, sectors and fields. In the global healthcare industry, it has become a disruptive tool that is quickly revolutionising medical practice, research and pharmaceutical development.
“As technology continues to grow and develop in sophistication, finding factories of the future is a top priority for every industry, including healthcare. Able to take advantage of the latest innovations in 3D scanning, design and printing, Sinterex combines technology with the finest in medical practice.”
Julian Callanan, founder and managing director of Sinterex, said, “Healthcare is an entirely personal matter, with no solution fitting two people. Finding a solution that is truly bespoke is currently a major challenge, but the rise in the use of 3D printing technology has changed the economics of personalisation and is now set to transform the medical industry.”
3D printing can support medical professionals in every area of the industry, ranging from dental laboratories to dental clinics, to hospitals. Sinterex has developed products for medical professionals active in each of these areas. For example, for hospitals, DHA announced earlier this year that medical Experts from Dubai Health Authority’s Innovation Centre have collaborated with Sinterex to bring 3D Printing to the point-of-care at DHA Hospitals-Rashid, Latifa, Dubai, and Hatta Hospital.
“A team of biomedical engineers are now on site working side-by-side with medical professionals to provide access to patient-specific anatomical models. The benefits are amazing. By being onsite our team are in close communication with the DHA surgeons and can quickly respond to their requests. We are seeing significant time savings for the surgeries which we are supporting.” added Julian Callanan.
Sinterex has also developed an innovative online portal which allows the team behind this business to work remotely with customers, who can review 3D files anywhere and at any time thanks to smartphone compatibility.
