3D printing of abdominal immobilization masks for therapeutics: dosimetric, mec...
Duarte, Jessica; Loja, Maria Amélia Ramos; Portal, Ricardo; Vieira, Lina OliveiraMolding immobilization masks is a time-consuming process, strongly dependent on the healthcare professional, and potentially uncomfortable for the patient. Thus, an alternative sustainable automated production process is proposed for abdominal masks, using fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing with polylactic acid (PLA). Radiological properties of PLA were evaluated by submitting a set of PLA plates to p...
Overview on the Evolution of Laser Welding of Vascular and Nervous Tissues
Gomes, Diogo Francisco; Galvão, Ivan; Loja, Maria Amélia RamosLaser welding presents a core position in the health sector. This process has had an outstanding impact on the surgical procedures from many medical areas, such as on vascular and nervous surgeries. The aim of the present research is to present an overview on the evolution of laser welding of vascular and nervous tissues. These surgeries present many advantages, such as an absence of foreign-body reactions and ...
