Patient-specific cutting guides for bone tumour resection
SurgiNovi Tumour PST is a patient-specific cutting guide designed for planned bone tumour resection. Its design uses CT-based anatomical information and three-dimensional reconstruction of DICOM imaging. The guide is intended to contact the bone and direct cuts defined in the surgical plan.
The published product illustration identifies fixation holes and references related to the planned resection boundaries. Their relationship to the intended cuts needs to be understood within the complete design.
The team should review whether the contact surfaces represented during planning remain relevant to the intended approach. Product-specific instructions provide the appropriate reference for positioning and use of the guide.
Considering reconstruction alongside resection
Where reconstruction is planned, the relationship between the proposed resection and the reconstruction needs to be understood. Questions about the remaining bone and intended fixation belong in the multidisciplinary planning discussion.
The availability of a custom-made implant does not establish that it is appropriate for a particular tumour case. The clinical team determines the treatment pathway, and any product design must correspond with that pathway.
