Micriv: Developing 3D printing technology to aid surgeons and decrease patient recovery time

Micriv utilized  GPA funds in the amount of $5000 in November 2017 to perfect 3D printing of maxillofacial structures that physicians use when planning complicated surgeries. This technology allows the surgeon to practice the surgery prior to entering the operating room resulting in less time in surgery and a faster recovery time for the patient. A shorter recovery time is vital for patients who live paycheck to paycheck as they can return to work sooner. The project will expand to neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery soon.
