Erasmus Medical Center uses 3D printed ear bones for medical education

3D printing is gradually penetrating into the medical field, especially in the production of surgical models for the preparation of particularly unusual, life-threatening or complex surgeries. But starting this week, surgeons and interns at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, are exploring a slightly different application: using 3D printed bones and structures as a training model for students. If this experiment is widely promoted, the dependence on training with human corpses can be greatly reduced. This experiment will be widely used to train a new generation of doctors.

The trial began on June 21st with a 3D printed mastoid bone that was used as an integral part of the human ear structure and was an important part of the ear infection surgery. Mick Metselaar, an otolaryngologist, told reporters that his students often use human bones and bodies to practice this type of surgery.

During the test, six interns and surgeons had to experience 3D printed bones for the first time, and most doctors were quite active. “Once you start working, you will soon forget that this is not a real bone. It has a very realistic touch and the same structure. The material will split, just like human bones.” This is the first 3D printed mastoid bone. Used for medical education. Another doctor added that its "attachment" is much less than that of human corpses. "A corpse is always covered with fragments of tissue."

This 3D printed bone is made by Medical Data. The Medical Data organization includes researchers, engineers and doctors from Erasmus MC, Delft University of Technology and the Leiden University Medical Center, all of whom are constantly working on sustainable medical solutions. Medical Data also hired seven new professors this week to work together on these solutions. Among them, Professor Richard Goossens has been working hard to promote the development of these 3D printed bones.
