Innovating Pediatric Care: 3D Printing at Seattle Children's Hospital

[@MakersMuse]

This is so amazing! Patient specific training definitely seems the go for delicate unusual procedures, 3D printing really does make this kind of personalization possible. Hope to see it keep developing!

[@JonS]

This is probably the most moving 3D printing video I've ever seen. Wonderful work they are doing there.

[@eridum]

I cannot agree more. This is wonderful.

[@wafflecart]

Soo good!

[@agovirtus94]

As someone who works in a hospital and working on these exact models for presurgical planning, its always so great Joel that you bring these new ideas and techniques in 3D printing to light. Not everyone thinks this is possible and only assumes 3D printing is small cool trinkets for kids or desks. This video and the one with the child footprints really make me remember why I'm doing this and helps me share this passion I have for 3D printing with others. TLDR Joel is amazing for finding these stories and applications and sharing them with his vast audience. HIGH FIVE

Do you know what they’re called? 3d Technicians? It’s still in its early stage, but would be cool to work in a department like that! Imagine all the lives you can save!

[@agovirtus94]

@@jackofalltrades3011 I believe so. My role is more in the education space as a medical Education program specialist. I just do 3D printing for a hobby and brought it to my work and they wanted to start cool things like Seattle Children’s is doing and we started our program last year

[@jimbobo23]

ooo what is the footprint one you're referring to? I've taken waveforms of heartbeats of kids I work with and printed those. But footprints would be a nice alternative!

[@agovirtus94]

he did this video a while back but I want to reach out to our ISCU and/or ministry dept at the hospital @@jimbobo23 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKUimR7l956oJIsi=2ZgdVvVFNa03Zacz)

Man, Joel thanks for showing what the community around you has been supporting at Seattle Children's.

[@craftykid3d]

Patient specific training seems so important and makes so much sense. Especially to save our precious kids! I love progress

[@andrewchudyk8518]

I am a service engineer for these exact models of printers (Stratasys J750/J850 DAP) and have observed how medical engineers have been pushing the limits of them for many years and it still amazes me.

[@pezliz]

Amazing!! My friend Sam is a nurse at Seattle Children's - he is a superhero. So glad to see so much innovation in the name of saving children's lives!

[@channelvr1293]

3D printers saving Children's lives ....simply amazing... Respect !

[@nicklogan2]

This is a beautiful work of using technology for the betterment of mankind, Thank you for making this episode!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@miestermind]

You are the new like.... PBS/BillNye/DiscoveryChannel show that would have been around during our younger years. but on YT. Keep it pure, keep it focused on Additive and keep on sharing the knowledge! This is wonderful!

[@davetelling]

What an amazing use of technology! I have seen 3D printed replacement technology, but this idea to use it to allow pre-surgical training is amazing! Thanks, Joel!

[@reprinted3D]

3D printing saving lives; who would thunk it? These amazing doctors and technicians, that's who! Fantastic, Joel!

[@kylegillespie81]

As someone who works at Stratasys I love seeing my printers in the background working and being talked about. We have lots a new products coming out that I think are amazing to use in life saving/changing ways.

[@noturdad5354]

This is above and beyond, all to help and save our youth. Making sure they're set to change this world for the better.

[@hen3drik]

Really very interesting video. When I think back 25 years and consider what has been possible since then: wow, these are truly exciting times in which I live. 😊

[@rcmaniac25]

This brought a tear to my eye. While examples exist into centuries past, general anesthesia is only a couple 100 years old. Washing hands before surgery and similar is less then 200 years old. The first lung transplant and heart transplants happened in the 60s. And while I'm sure this is a few years old at least, the fact (not the idea, but fact) that surgeons and doctors can practice on the "real" version of someone's medical anatomy... practice makes perfect, and with the progress of medical sciences and techniques, I can't see this doing anything but improving the chances of successful treatments. It's fantastic. From dental using resin (decades old) to this. The future is looking better every day and I applaud the people making it happen. It's even better that it involves children, who's whole future can be set by a medical event at a time they may not remember. This is fantastic and thank you for showing it to us. Also, I know Stratasys loves to talk about their printers use in medical, but this did so much more then what their salesman have been able to explain. Given how they've patented nearly every advancement in FDM that many in consumer printing would want, seeing that toolhead... dang, that thing is huge. I wonder what it all does.

[@davel9130]

This is truly awesome. Thanks for continuing to showcase Seattle Children's Hospital, Joel.

[@denialdesign]

Wow! Just, WOW! This is mind blowingly amazing. Thanks Joel!

[@hanslain9729]

Badass. Awesome support and work with Seattle Children's, Joel! I'm betting you're inspiring future solution designers out there! 10/10 on the crisp HIGH FIVE!

[@NLTMW]

When I start watching your videos, I instinctively start by liking that smash button. Again, by the end, I wanted to give it MANY thumbs ups! Great work and amazing to see a place that you and your community actively support, sharing more of their story to spread more awareness. Well done!

[@leemerie3d]

Joel that is so cool! I've always been interested in 3D printing in the medical field but to see some of these things they are able to do is just awesome! Now I need to see if my Dr friend can get me into the Indiana University behind the scenes on what they are up to with 3D printing in my neck of the woods! 😊

[@jwk427]

11:40 - That look says "Uh oh, just how far is this demonstration going to go?"

[@Scr00ples]

Always ask for the dicom images of your CT/MRI scans. You can import them in to invesalius 3d and create a model from said images.

[@siberia21]

And this is practical Printing! Awsome!

[@Walt1119]

Fantastic tech helping people! Thanks for sharing with us!!!!

[@jonboomgarden9688]

Great work!! Have been using DA printers for years. Great for patient outcome!!

[@TheNextDecade]

Thanks for sharing this Joel! Happy to know the group we’re raising money for is printing and practicing for the better!! But seriously I got war flashbacks looking at the polyjet machine on the left 😂 I removed so many supports, so many silicone parts. So many angry days telling my bosses the machine was layer shifting and the tech never fixed it whenever they flew him out. My back is completely wrecked from working on the water jet to remove those supports. Its a wonderful technology and super helpful, just not in the hands of that old company. But definitely helpful in the hands of Seattle children’s hospital.

[@jellybeanpowder]

This brings me so much joy! A great big thumbs up by me!

[@wafflecart]

Amazing video! Thanks for bringing us to see this :)

[@SharlzG]

I nearly had to do the treadmill vocal chord assessment last year and would have had to wear that rig, but then they were able to work out my treatment plan without it. It's pretty amazing technology though

[@TripodsGarage]

Love this! Another great video Joel!

[@TheNightwalker247]

Such an interesting video thank you all for following your passion

[@rheller_82]

Good work most definitely! Something that I noticed though. They should try printing in house. Probably cut down on cost and be faster. All would benefit the patient of course.

[@garagemonkeysan]

❤❤❤Joel brings us cutting edge!

[@ShawnChristopher10101]

GoPro never new they coulda diversified into medical tools. Great interview Joel.

[@woodwaker1]

Joel, thanks for showing this. I am currently having radiation and chemo for neck cancer and found information about 3D printed mouth guards, which are used to move the tongue and lips out of the radiation path. My radiation oncologist is aware of the new processes, but they still make an appliance out of tongue depressors and wax. Progress is happening quickly.

[@RyanBischoffPercussion]

My friend would love if she could get a replica print of her son’s spines major scoliosis to really be able to see it. Any idea how we can get that done?

[@DarrylAdams]

So Joel, did your fundraising help the hospital with these innovations? Did this open the door for this visit because this kind of Science! needs to be shown and your channel is a perfect fit for this

[@andyb7754]

Very interesting and informative video, thank you.

[@immadrillyofam3265]

Out of these which one should I get ? • Elegoo Neptune 4 plus • Creality K1 • Ender 5 S1 • Anycubic Kobra Plus • Bambu A1 Or any other printer thats in the £300 price range

Stratasys printers are pretty incredible

[@noturdad5354]

by the way, i was in an accident and had a collapsed lung from blisters, they did something close to this to figure out how they were gonna do my surgery after the pneumothorax refused to heal without any intervention over than a standard emergency thoracostomy. they cut me open and created an opening with their fingers to get the chest tube inside and position right. didn't hurt as much as it scarred me because the surface skin was numb with the muscles, but when they stuck their fingers in the side of my chest, it got harder to breathe. I couldn't scream either because i couldn't take a deep breathe. it felt as if someone kicked me in the chest and i was winded. I'm 20 and a small guy, im 5'7", 124lbs, as in underweight, i've struggled all my life with it. it took a male nurse and a female nurse on one leg, 2 female nurses on the other, 2 more female nurses holding my left arm over my right side, they were cutting under my left armpit, and another female nurse held my hand for something to squeeze, and the 2 trauma doctors who were inserting the chest tube. i wish it on no one.

Love that insight and now to actually know what is already done with 3D printing in the medical field, because all thought i heard about many new innovations i wasn't sure on when they would actually get a use / which are already used. Its even more insane after the insane amount the giveaway raised for that hospital ♥ #polymakerwebsitecrashes 😅

[@donaldtank]

In 2010 there was a guy that had cancer Of the heal bone and someone 3d printed a Titanium hill bone for hem in Texas I had infection in my hill bone and they didn't have the ability to 3d printer me a new one so they amputee below my knee I believe that I didn't have a lot of money that why they didn't have the ability why is that?

[@knostar8935]

3D Printing Tracheas, just like Paolo Maccharini did back in 2013... I just hope these ones have gone through medical trials before being tried to patients, unlike Maccharini did.

[@Shrubtastic]

It’s a children’s hospital. They’re doing this in the open, and appear to be focusing on preparing for surgery.
