Resumen
CREGO VITA, D.M.; GARCIA CANAS, R. y ARETA JIMENEZ, F.J.. New Technologies for Military Health System. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.1, pp.28-30. ISSN 1887-8571.
The treatment of combat casualties in the area of operations presents a set of challenges, including the logistical challenge of providing sterile surgical materials to military surgeons. 3D printing can offer a solution to overcome the logistical challenge by using resistant, durable and biocompatible thermoplastic resins, which can be formed into any shape, by additive manufacturing, to produce sterile and on demand surgical instruments in a deployed medical echelon outside the national territory.
