Medical engineering practices are shaped in this center – Renishaw, which extends engineering services from aerospace to medical applications, has opened the Center for Excellence in Excellence in Wales. This center, where the principle of adding value and quality to human life by using technological advances, is the address of many medical researches.
In addition to engineering applications, Renishaw also opened a healthcare facility in the settlement of Miskin, South Wales, serving the industries with metal 3D printer models. The opening ceremony was organized by the Prime Minister of Wales Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AM, and the center also produces medical equipments as well as trainings.
The Healthcare Center of Excellence, which opened on September 29, 2016, includes rehearsals, training workshops and lessons. Renishaw has even provided a rehearsal surgery for studies of sterotactic brain surgeries to the facility, making surgeons the ultimate goal of exploiting the latest technological developments.
X-ray Usage in Complex Neurological Practices
Stereotactic; It is a method usually applied to deep brain stimulation (DBS), stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) used in epilepsy treatment and risky operations such as biopsy. Brain surgeons experience a realistic surgical experience in the operating room for rehearsal and improve their expertise and are more prepared for the complications that may arise during the actual operation. During this rehearsal, the surgical and medical team also learns about the use of X-ray beams and the tools Renishaw produces for neurological applications. These medical trainings are not limited to the center. Experts in other regions can also benefit from training with audio and visual training materials.
Renishaw’s support to the medical field is provided by these productions as well as rapid production. Located right next to the Miskin plant, this Center of Excellence brings together engineers and medical professionals, opening doors to innovative developments. Here, Renishaw’s long-standing production infrastructure and advantages of metal-layered production meet; and emerging dental bridges and patient-specific implants of quality and practicality.
Not only Renishaw’s 3D technology is utilized in this Center of Excellence; where the knowledge of engineers is transferred to innovations of health professionals’ experiences. In addition; The company’s measuring technology, Raman spectroscopy instruments, dental scanners and diagnostic tools are also actively used.
Medical Engineering Applications In This Center
In 2012, Wales Prime Minister Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AM; who has already opened the Center of Excellence at the Miskin settlement; has described the extraordinary results that this cooperation will bring to the medical field; “I am quite surprised as a result of the products being developed and the work done. This is an extraordinary development. Innovations in these areas can extend the life span of the people; improve the quality of life by eliminating distortions in the external appearance.”
Jones, who thanked Renishaw for opening these two important departments in Wales, for his belief in the region; and that these developments will have a positive impact in many areas of life in the near future.
Sir David McMurty, Chairman of Renishaw, said that they saw the South Wales region; as a serious potential when they opened the Miskin plant. “We have invested over £ 40 million since we established the facility. Our belief in this region is at its fullest; Our Health Excellence Center is the latest example of these ongoing investments. “
