Imaginarium paves the path for India’s first hand transplant recovery with 3D printing solution

Imaginarium, a leading multi-speciality digital manufacturing business, has announced that the company's customised, bio-compatible 3D printed orthotic device is successfully supporting the recovery of 15 year old teenager, Anamta Ahmad  who underwent a complex hand transplant post her amputation.
 
The company develops pioneering healthcare applications such as custom surgical guides, patient-specific implants, and orthotics. Its additive manufacturing capabilities have transformed customisation and patient personalisation in the medical field.
 
Anamta Ahmad, the youngest person in the world to undergo a shoulder-level limb transplant, faced a daunting recovery journey as she got electrocuted by 11,000-volt electric wires. The complex nature of the surgery and extended recovery period required a specialised approach to ensure proper healing and minimised discomfort. Imaginarium's custom 3D printed orthotic device, tailored to Anamta's needs, has been crucial in overcoming these challenges.
 
Aashay Mehta, managing director and co-chairman., Imaginarium, stated,   “There’s nothing that requires more customization than the human body, no two people are the same, and even our left and right sides aren’t identical. That’s why our work is so vital. Whether it's for this surgery or developing patient-specific implants, we’ve been at the forefront of 3D-printed healthcare solutions for two decades. Our goal is to keep innovating and finding new ways to meet the unique medical needs of each individual."
 
Crafted from durable, biocompatible hard plastics, the device prioritises both comfort and long-lasting performance, making it ideal for extended use. Without such innovations, achieving effective recovery would have been far more difficult in cases of complex procedures, said Mehta. .
 
According to Anamta Ahmad,  “I had complete trust in the doctor and his team; they made me feel optimistic about the surgery. Once after the procedure was done I had to enter my recovery phase with a brace which was custom made by Imaginarium. To know that I was first transplant patient to get a custom 3D printed brace excites me even more. The brace was not only functional but also had an aesthetic appeal to which I could relate to as a teenager which I find quite essential given the length of the recovery period.  Also, being exposed to high-end technologies and processes was a fascinating experience.
