“When we launched our Precision Oncology initiative at MSTS 2017 in Denver, it was met with great enthusiasm from the surgeon community,” said Sean Curry, senior vice president of commercial operations, Onkos Surgical. Onkos surgical realized the profound impact they could make if they combined personalized 3D printed medical devices and instrumentation with patient-specific surgical simulation. The company quickly embraced 3D printing as a technology that could address the particular needs of both the cancer patient, and the cancer surgeon.
Onkos surgical was founded in 2015 to deliver high quality implants and instruments that meet the unique needs of musculoskeletal tumor patients. “As an early stage investor in Onkos, they understand the criticality of our connection to the customer, the unique challenges these surgeons and patients face and the tremendous opportunity we have to make a difference for these patients while building a high value and scalable business.”
“We are delighted to announce this partnership with 3D Systems, a true visionary and leader in medical device 3D printing and surgical planning,” said Patrick Treacy, co-founder and chief executive officer, Onkos Surgical. The outcome is a digital plan that is transferred to the operating room via accurate 3D printed patient-specific models, guides and templates. The surgeon initiates the process, bringing their clinical knowledge and desired surgical plan to an online web meeting with a 3 D systems biomedical engineer to simulate and plan the surgical procedure. The combination of VSP and 3D printing allows surgeons to preoperatively plan a surgical procedure, as well as design surgical tools and implants for each patient’s unique case.Įstablished by 3D systems, VSP technology received FDA market clearance for the cranio-maxillofacial region as a service-based approach to personalized surgery, combining expertise in medical imaging, surgical simulation and 3D printing. Through this partnership, the companies aim to advance the delivery of personalized surgical solutions to help improve outcomes for patients with tumors and lesions occurring in the pelvis and long bones (i.e., the large bones found in the arms and legs) associated with musculoskeletal cancers. Additionally, the companies will collaborate on next-generation 510(k) clearances for 3D printed implants and instruments for tumor reconstruction. The agreement provides Onkos Surgical priority access to 3D Systems’ VSP® (Virtual Surgical Planning) Orthopedic product line for surgical planning, as well as 3D printed anatomical models. Announced today that it signed a 4-year agreement with 3D Systems ( NYSE:DDD) to advance the delivery of personalized surgical solutions and help improve patient outcomes.
