Possible cost savings using 3D-printed guides in surgery 2019
According to a study of the use of **-printed guides in surgery, there was huge potential for cost savings for hospitals and healthcare providers. The mean cost of surgery was calculated to be ** U.S. dollars per minute (as of 2019), meaning that using a ** printed anatomic model which cuts ** minutes from the mean operating room time, over U.S. dollars could be saved. At the maximum valued figure from surgery, a **-printed anatomic model could save over * U.S. dollars per surgery.
