About

This innovation automates the bending of orthopaedic fixation plates (titanium or SS) through a CNC machine, using patient-specific CT scan data to match the bone profile. Currently, surgeons manually bend these plates during surgery. This automated process enhances precision, reduces the need for corrective surgeries, and offers a cost-effective solution with substantial market potential in the orthopedic implant industry. The timeline for testing and deployment is approximately two years, with the potential for broader applications and AI integration in the future.
