Unscramble the Blue Letters


(Laughter)

You can see it's quite a complex structure. It has a fnuny tri-lobal shape at the bottom, which contains the aortic valve. It then comes back into a round form, and then taerps and curves off. It's quite a difficult structure to produce. This is a sort of CAD model of me, and this is one of the later CAD models. We went through an iterative process of producing better and better models. When we produced that model, we tnrued it into a solid, plastic model, as you can see, using a rapid prototyping technique, another eneeiinrngg technique. We then used that former to manufacture a pcftreely bespoke porous teixlte mesh, which takes the shape of the former and perfectly fits the aorta. So this is absolutely pzareoisenld medicine at its best, really. Every patient we do has an absolutely bespoke ilmnpat.

Original Text


(Laughter)

You can see it's quite a complex structure. It has a funny tri-lobal shape at the bottom, which contains the aortic valve. It then comes back into a round form, and then tapers and curves off. It's quite a difficult structure to produce. This is a sort of CAD model of me, and this is one of the later CAD models. We went through an iterative process of producing better and better models. When we produced that model, we turned it into a solid, plastic model, as you can see, using a rapid prototyping technique, another engineering technique. We then used that former to manufacture a perfectly bespoke porous textile mesh, which takes the shape of the former and perfectly fits the aorta. So this is absolutely personalized medicine at its best, really. Every patient we do has an absolutely bespoke implant.
