Trecco Ltd. designs and manufactures patient-specific implants and surgical guides using 3D printing.
We work with hospitals, surgeons, and research teams on complex cases and training
where standard solutions fall short.
Trecco designs and manufactures patient-specific implants and 3D-printed surgical guides for maxillofacial reconstruction.
In reconstructive surgery, virtual planning and 3D printing are now established tools rather than future concepts. When used appropriately, they can improve planning accuracy without adding unnecessary cost or complexity.
At Trecco, we use additive manufacturing where it improves reliability in real clinical cases and avoid it where it adds risk without clear benefit.
The surgeons we work with expect clarity around materials, process, and limitations. Our engineering experience is focused on delivering implants and guides that behave predictably in theatre.
Careful planning and realistic design decisions make a measurable difference in today’s surgical practice.
Patient-specific implants are designed to replace bone or support soft tissue using established biocompatible materials. Each implant is modelled and manufactured for the individual patient, based on their anatomy and the planned surgical approach.
Patient-specific surgical guides carry key planning decisions into theatre, particularly around where cuts are made and how components are positioned. Virtual modelling allows surgeons to define these references in advance, which can simplify complex procedures.
When designed well, guides reduce intraoperative uncertainty and limit the need for on-the-spot adjustments.
Because each implant is designed around the patient’s anatomy, key fit decisions are addressed before surgery rather than under time pressure.
Careful planning helps restore facial contours while avoiding unnecessary compromise to surrounding anatomy.
Preoperative planning can reduce intraoperative decision-making compared with adapting off-the-shelf implants during surgery.
Better alignment and fixation planning can reduce the need for additional grafting and lower the likelihood of revision surgery.
Trecco’s work is focused on helping surgeons deliver reconstructions that fit as planned, using engineering tools that are appropriate to each case.
