The French company Kicmed uses additive manufacturing to create a medical cryotherapy device.
The medical industry in France is constantly innovating to improve healthcare, enhance patient comfort, and make practitioners’ daily lives easier. One of the latest innovations is Kicmed, a startup based in the Nantes region, which has developed a medical cryotherapy device using 3D printing.
Cryotherapy is a treatment that involves exposing an area of the body, or even the whole body, to very low temperatures to promote healing. The Kicmed system relies on a 3D-printed silicone sleeve.
We met with the Kicmed team to learn more about how the device works and the role 3D technologies played in its development.
