3D Systems VSP (Virtual Surgical Planning)
Personalized solutions to transform healthcare.
Overview
3D Systems' VSP (Virtual Surgical Planning) is a market-leading solution for personalized surgery. It combines powerful software with a team of expert biomedical engineers. Surgeons collaborate with the engineers in a web meeting to simulate the surgery on a 3D model of the patient's anatomy (derived from CT scans). The result is a detailed surgical plan and a set of 3D-printed, patient-specific surgical guides, models, and instruments that are shipped to the hospital.
✨ Key Features
- Service-based surgical planning with biomedical engineers
- Online planning sessions with surgeons
- Patient-specific 3D anatomical models
- Design and fabrication of 3D printed surgical guides and instruments
- FDA-cleared process
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Full-service model combining software with expert engineering support
- Integrated manufacturing of patient-specific instruments and guides
- Longstanding market leader with extensive case experience
Unique Value: Increases surgical accuracy and predictability by providing surgeons with a precise plan and patient-specific 3D printed tools, without requiring the surgeon to become a software expert.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Jaw reconstruction with fibula free flap
- Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic)
- Cranial implant placement
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Soft-tissue aesthetic simulations
- Practices wanting a DIY software-only solution
- Low-complexity procedures not requiring guides
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike DIY software, VSP offloads the technical work to expert engineers, saving the surgeon time and ensuring high-quality results. This service-based model is a key differentiator.
