A 3D medical animation studio that helps medical device and pharmaceutical companies to market their products showing what video cannot.

Breakdown: Hip-Replacement 3D Animation

Breakdown: Hip-Replacement 3D Animation

by

An estimated 7 million Americans are living with hip and/or knee replacements. As these procedures become increasingly popular, patient education becomes a powerful selling tool. This 3D hip replacement animation clearly demonstrates the added structure to the hip areas.

3D medical animations can be useful in medical equipment sales, practitioner training, and patient awareness. Helping patients better understand what hip replacement procedures entail can help them better evaluate the procedures of potential benefits to them. In this breakdown, we showcase how this 3D animation demonstrates the hip replacement process.

Acetabular Component + Liner

Hip replacement surgery is utilized in many cases for a wide range of patient circumstances. Additionally, body types can vary wildly. Having clear, well-presented images and video of only the essential structures (bone, cartilage, etc) is helpful. In this image, the animation showcases the initial installation of the acetabular component and plastic liner. The isolated rendering of only skeletal structure provides a concise demonstration of equipment location.

Animating the Prosthesis Assembly

For medical procedures with multiple steps (most) it’s essential to provide clear and accurate depictions of each step. This helps patients, doctors, and sales teams clearly convey how such prosthesis are intended to be used. This rendering showcases a ghosted image of the femoral stem being attached to the acetabluar  assembly. This can help visualize the extent to which lower femoral support is integrated within the device.

Visualizing Range-of-Motion

One major benefit of 3D animations, even compared to photorealistic renderings, is they convey motion. Hip replacement surgery is very kinematic all around—the devices move and they are intended to help the patients move! This selection of the 3D animation showcases the full range-of-motion associated with this medical device.

Review

Medical devices are life-saving equipment in many cases and, in the case of hip-replacement surgery, can help patients reclaim independence. 3D animations can help better educate patients and practitioners alike to the benefits of such procedures. This 3D animation was created to demonstrate the different parts of this surgery as well as the resulting functionality of the medical device.

Breakdown: 3D Biopsy Tissue Sample Animation

by

Biopsies are essential medical procedures that help practitioners best diagnose patients and develop treatment options. We developed this 3D animation to help practitioners better educate patients on the nature of the procedure to help mitigate any post-operative misunderstandings.

In this breakdown, we’ll show how a 3D animation helps to showcase the core process of an endoscopic biopsy, as well as the core functionality of the equipment used. Real-world footage isn’t easily obtained for such procedures and this animation helps create a cost-effective substitute.

Medical Device Features

The primary goal of this 3D animation was to clearly illustrate how this medical device is used during a biopsy procedure. Endoscopy can help doctors spot early warning signs of serious medical concerns. This part of the animation shows the forceps extending from the biopsy channel opening, being positioned on the tissue, and collecting the sample.

High Quality Lighting

Patients may or may not be aware of how practitioners are able to locate certain areas in the body. This part of the animation clearly illustrates that the endoscope contains powerful lights and ideally-located objective lens to provide precision control. This medical device animation also shows that the forceps are safely retracted during initial insertion to avoid tissue damage.

3D Animation of Core Features

Medical devices often have many complex features and functions. This animation clearly demonstrates one of the core functions of the forceps used during the endoscopic biopsy. Not only are 3D animations of this nature good for patient education; they can also be useful during residency and surgical training.

Review

Medical equipment animations help showcase the core features of expensive devices that aren’t always easily explained. This is useful during medical sales, patient education, and practitioner training. 3D medical animations help provide a real-world depiction of how these devices are used—something that real video isn’t always able to capture!
