The 3D printing medical laboratory is managed by Johnson & Johnson Singapore on NUH’s premises, making it the first of its kind in Singapore. In this point-of-care room, J&J’s biomedical engineers will work with NUH

Physicians work closely to design and produce personalized anatomical models for preoperative planning and surgical simulation.
The lab currently produces patient-specific anatomical models, such as hip and knee joints, and plans to produce other medical devices and instruments in the near future, such as surgical guides for complex procedures. In preparation for the digital age, the lab will also explore mixed reality (MR) technologies to support the development of next-generation clinical applications and better improve patient safety during surgery.
The opening ceremony of the laboratory was held on the morning of November 19 in a mixed mode of online and offline, with Associate Professor Mai Xiwei, Director of Medical Services of the Ministry of Health as the guest.
Professor Xu Haibo, director of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at NUS Hospital, explained in his speech that doctors can use the copied model for more effective preoperative planning, such as accurate measurement

The shape, size, and location of the device can help shorten the operation time and reduce the probability of postoperative complications for the patient.
He emphasized: “3D printingIt has penetrated into the field of medicine and health care, from improving medical treatment and patient education, to surgical planning and even the process of prescribing medicines… This technology has infinite possibilities in the medical field. “
