This milestone follows the successful conclusion of preclinical studies and marks a significant advancement in the treatment of these complex injuries, typically resulting from high-energy impacts like falls or motorcycle accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2017 and collaborating closely with institutions such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idiap.ch\/en\/front_page?set_language=en\">Idiap Research Institute in Martigny<\/a> (canton of Valais), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csem.ch\/en\/\">CSEM<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefr.ch\/fr\/\">HES-SO University of Applied Sciences<\/a> in Fribourg, Swibrace leverages cutting-edge 3D printing technologies to produce patient-specific orthopedic splints. These splints are tailored to fit the unique anatomical features of each patient, offering a significant improvement over traditional, one-size-fits-all solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhanced healing solutions for patients globally<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s innovative Patient Support and Brace Systems (PSABs) are not only custom-fitted but also feature breathable and waterproof materials that reduce infection risks and prevent muscle atrophy. This approach promotes a more comfortable and effective healing process, addressing both the physical and lifestyle needs of patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, Swibrace initiated a project with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insel.ch\/fr\/\">Inselspital<\/a> in Bern to develop and test these specialized wrist splints. The resulting clinical study, published in the Journal of Wrist Surgery, has validated the effectiveness of these 3D-printed splints in clinical settings. &#8220;We are pleased to introduce our 3D-printed wrist splints\u2014a demonstration of Swibrace\u2019s commitment to patient-specific care,&#8221; said Professor Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Schuind, CEO and Founder of Swibrace SA. &#8220;The study highlights how additive manufacturing can improve the treatment of distal radius, rhizarthrosis, and scaphoid fractures.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the transition into the clinical phase, Swibrace is now positioned to commercialize its wrist braces, which are available for direct request at the Inselspital or through the company&#8217;s website. Looking ahead, Swibrace is committed to expanding its product range to include treatments for other types of fractures and is actively engaging with potential partners to broaden its market reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swibrace, in partnership with the Inselspital in Bern, moves its customized wrist braces into clinical phase, enhancing fracture treatment
