George dramatically fell off his bike. His story and how we help his surgeon Prof Hutchison was featured on BBC World as part of journalist Katie Silver’s documentary on the use of 3D printing in surgery.

Conjoined twins Rital and Ritag separated at Great Ormond Street Hospital

We were delighted to help again Facing the World. The design and operative computer-planning expertise of Robin Richards of Cavendish Implants was asked for to help the clinical team with the planning of the four consecutive surgeries that untangled the twins’ highly complex vascular system. Mr Dunaway and Mr Jeelani, craniofacial surgeons operating on the twins, said that Robin’s models (3D printed by Cavendish Imaging) were immensely useful to plan and rehearse what they would do later in theatre so that the operating time would be kept to a minimum. We wish the twins a very happy future.
