The Surgical Fracture Table

December 7, 2024 by CITE in Projects

The surgical fracture table facilitates fracture surgeries in hard to reach
places of the body by rotating the tables joints instead of moving the whole
body of the patient risking further injuries.

The design is purely mechanical and greatly relies on 3D printing and
therefore of a reduced cost (to about US$3,000) compared to the standards of
care fracture table designs (costing about US$200,000)
