Imaginarium Supports India’s First Hand Transplant Recovery with 3D Printed Solution

October 22, 2024

Imaginarium has played a pivotal role in the recovery of 15-year-old Anamta Ahmad, the youngest person in the world to undergo a shoulder-level limb transplant. After a life-threatening electrocution accident involving 11,000-volt wires led to the amputation of her arm, Anamta’s recovery journey required advanced medical support to ensure a smooth and comfortable healing process. Imaginarium provided a custom 3D-printed orthotic device that has been essential to her post-surgery recovery.

A Customised Solution for a Complex Recovery

Anamta’s case posed significant challenges due to the complexity of the surgery and the extended recovery period. Traditional recovery methods were not sufficient to meet her specific needs. Imaginarium’s tailored, biocompatible orthotic device offered a personalised solution, designed to enhance her comfort and expedite healing. The orthotic, made from durable, biocompatible hard plastics, was crafted to fit Anamta’s body precisely, ensuring both functionality and long-lasting performance.

Aashay Mehta, Managing Director and Co-Chairman at Imaginarium, commented, “We are proud to have played a role in Anamta’s recovery by pushing the boundaries of personalised healthcare. The human body requires a high degree of customisation, and we’ve been at the forefront of 3D-printed healthcare solutions for two decades. Our goal is to continue innovating and finding new ways to meet the unique medical needs of each individual.”

Patient-Centered Design and Innovation

In addition to its functional benefits, the 3D-printed brace also featured an aesthetic design that appealed to Anamta, providing her with both physical and emotional support during her recovery. She shared her experience, saying, “The brace was not only functional but also had an aesthetic appeal, which was important to me as a teenager during this long recovery process. Being the first transplant patient to use a custom 3D-printed brace is exciting, and I hope this innovation helps others in the future.”

Imaginarium’s solution underscores the growing role of 3D printing in personalised healthcare, offering tailored solutions that cater to the unique needs of individual patients. By providing customised support, the company is helping to pave the way for future medical breakthroughs, particularly in complex recovery cases like Anamta’s.
