Renewal Prosthetics creates innovative and effective prosthetic solutions that improve the lives of patients with facial defects or loss, and we do so through a detailed research development process that involves a combination of advanced imaging technologies, computer-aided design, advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, and rigorous testing and evaluation.
The first step is to consult with the patient and assess their specific needs and requirements. This includes evaluating the extent of their facial defect or loss, their skin type, bone structure, and other factors that can affect the fit and performance of the prosthetic. The consultation also includes discussing the patient's goals and expectations for the prosthetic, their lifestyle, and any specific needs or preferences they may have.
The next step is to create a detailed scan or image of the patient's face using advanced imaging technologies such as 3D scanning, CT scans, or MRI. This scan or image is used to create a digital model of the patient's face, which is then used as a guide for the prosthetic design.
Based on the scan or image, the next step is to design and create a prototype of the facial prosthetic. This involves using computer-aided design (CAD) software and other tools to create a digital model of the prosthetic, which is then printed or manufactured using advanced materials and techniques. The prototype is then tested and refined to ensure that it fits properly and meets the patient's needs.
Once the design and prototype have been finalized, the next step is to manufacture and fabricate the facial prosthetic. This involves using advanced materials and techniques such as 3D printing, injection molding, or silicone casting to create the prosthetic. The prosthetic is then finished and refined to ensure that it is comfortable, natural-looking, and functions properly.
After the prosthetic has been manufactured, the next step is to fit it to the patient's face. This involves using specialized fitting techniques and tools to ensure that the prosthetic fits properly and comfortably. Any adjustments or refinements are made as needed to ensure a proper fit and optimal performance.
Once the prosthetic has been fitted, the next step is to test and evaluate its performance. This involves conducting clinical trials and other tests to assess the prosthetic's effectiveness, comfort, and durability. The results of these tests are used to refine and improve the prosthetic design and manufacturing process.
After testing and evaluation, the next step is to obtain validation and approval from regulatory authorities and medical professionals. This involves submitting the prosthetic for review and approval by organizations such as the European Union's Medical Devices Regulation (MDR). Once approved, the prosthetic is ready for clinical use.
The final step is to provide ongoing maintenance and follow-up support to the patient. This involves regularly checking the fit and performance of the prosthetic, making any necessary adjustments or repairs, and providing ongoing training and support to the patient and their caregivers. By providing ongoing support and maintenance, the patient can continue to use the prosthetic with confidence and peace of mind.
