Intro: Dr. Dan O’Brien, MD, a medical futurist, joins us to discuss the future of medicine, including new 3-D printing technology that can actually make ventilators and masks on the spot, with no need to order and wait for shipments.
Q&A:
Dr. Dan question- In the future, how can this new 3D printing healthcare technology help with COVID-19?
Dr. answer: Yes, in the future 3D printing can help manufacturer protective gear, and produce medical equipment including ventilators and masks on the fly.
Dr. Dan question: Would this help with the shortage we are seeing with PPE equipment
Dr. Dan answer: Yes, there is shortage with PPE equipment, and this will help speed up the process of manufacturing much needed PPE equipment.
Dr. Dan question: Are hospitals interested in buying this?
Dr. Dan answer: Yes, this can help create ventilators and help with our shortage of supplies so hospitals can be better prepared in the future.
Dr. Dan question: Can nasal swabs be produced in large amounts using 3D printing?
Dr. Dan answer: Yes, in the literature it discusses the Army Medical Material Development producing 10,000 nasal swabs each day as this can be used in conjunction with COVID-19 testing kids, which have received FDA clearance for emergency use authorization.
Dr. Dan question: Finally, what makes this new innovative healthcare technology 3D printing such a great solution during this COVID-19 crisis?
Dr. Dan answer: 3D printing allows for a fast production and that is what we need during this time as it can take hours not days or weeks to produce. What is driving this demand is supply chains are being overwhelmed with the amount of demand this is creating as this can fill the unmet need that every industry has right now, while also making sure their employees have all the PPE to be able to safely return to society and work.
