🎙️ On this episode of the International Well being Innovation Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Michael Wagels, a number one Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, Australia.
Dr. Wagels shares his 15+ 12 months journey tackling complicated reconstructive challenges utilizing bioresorbable supplies and custom-designed medical gadgets, usually 3D-printed to match patient-specific anatomy. He’s internationally recognised for pushing the frontiers of biofabrication and medical translation of rising applied sciences.
🧠 Key Matters Coated:
Scientific innovation in complicated bone defect reconstruction
Advances in bioresorbable implants and 3D-printed medical gadgets
His work with ACCISS (Superior Scientific Conformal Implants Surgical Options) at Princess Alexandra Hospital
Overview of the Herston Biofabrication Institute (HBI), the primary of its type globally for 3D scanning, modelling, and printing of bone, cartilage, and mushy tissue
Collaborative biofabrication throughout hospitals, engineers, and researchers on the Herston Well being Precinct
Translation of analysis into real-world surgical gadgets and affected person outcomes
