About Hospital Sant Pau

The Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau traces its origins back to 1401 with the merger of the six hospitals that then existed in Barcelona into a larger one.

Its activity in the field of research ranks it as one of the most important hospital centers in Spain. This is evidenced by the number of published works and their impact factor, as well as the quality of subsidized projects and grants obtained.

A firm commitment to cutting-edge technologies

The hospital sought innovative solutions to tackle complex cardiology cases, where precision is crucial. Until now, planning cardiac surgeries was based on two-dimensional models, limiting the ability to foresee and plan interventions with the required accuracy.

3D Printing at the service of patients and the medical team

The introduction of 3D printing, advised and facilitated by INTECH3D, has allowed Hospital Sant Pau to create detailed three-dimensional models of patients.

These high-resolution printed models enable surgeons to plan interventions with greater precision, reducing risks and improving surgical outcomes.

The technology has been particularly useful in preparing for complex interventions such as valve repairs and the correction of congenital malformations.

The result: preparing digital professionals for the future

Since the implementation of this technology, Hospital Sant Pau has seen a notable improvement in intervention times and surgical precision. The 3D printed models not only allow doctors to practice and plan accurately, but also improve communication with patients by visually demonstrating the planned procedure.

This advance in cardiology at Hospital Sant Pau has not only optimized surgical processes but has also opened up new opportunities for future applications of 3D printing in other medical areas of the hospital.

This case is a clear example of how technological innovation, facilitated by INTECH3D, is transforming the healthcare sector and improving the quality of life of patients.
