Virtual surgical planning guides
Planning elevated.
Overview
As exclusive partners with 3D Systems, we’re committed to advancing personalized surgery together. That’s why we’re expanding our portfolio of VSP® patient-specific surgical guides to include two new 3D-printed materials: titanium and nylon. With customized tools designed to fit your patient, these surgical guides enable you to take your digital plan from the office to the operating room.
Titanium VSP® guides
Features and benefits:
Material made 20x stronger1
With titanium, you can experience increased strength over our traditional guides, allowing cutting and drilling directly through the guides.
Customized by you, for you
You can maximize functionality of the guides by altering cut slots to match your surgical blade. You can choose the height of your drill guide and cutting slots to control trajectory or reduce guide profile height.
Lower profile, easier placement
With slimmer profiles, the guides can provide easier placement in areas with limited exposure.
Your visualization, increased
Improve your visibility of the surgical site with lower profiles and a new cellular structure design which can help you better see anatomy.
Nylon VSP guides
Features and benefits:
Material made 88% tougher1
The nylon guides can better withstand mechanical forces, providing an improved performance.
Customized by you, for you
Select occlusal or bone-borne guides to fit your surgical needs. Further customize the guides with optional features such as nasal floor registration.
Lower profile, easier placement
Slimmer profile guides can provide easier placement in areas with limited exposure.
Your visualization, increased
Improve your visibility of the surgical site with lower profiles and a new cellular structure design which can help you better see anatomy.
Hybrid VSP® guides
This cutting and drilling guide for maxillofacial surgeons is a combination of a nylon occlusal guide and titanium cutting/drilling guide, the latest enhancement to 3D Systems’ VSP surgical planning solutions portfolio.
Features and benefits:
Easy guide placement
Occlusal-based registration enabled by an easy-to-use connection site with indicators to confirm the proper connection of guides.
Reduced bulkiness
Lower profile guides are easier to place in areas with limited exposure.
Multi-material benefits
Occlusal registration from a nylon guide for accurate placement plus the increased strength and rigidity2 of a titanium cutting/drilling guide.
Traditional VSP guides
Proven since the start
The original guide. Used in thousands of cases, the traditional guide pioneered the personalized medicine space.
Features and benefits:
Customized solutions
Designed from the VSP® planning session, these surgical guides are the physical output of the preplanned surgery. They assist a surgeon with patient-specific marking, positioning and osteotomy decisions in the OR.
