STATEMENT OF NEED

GENERAL: James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital physical medicine and rehabilitation services, 13000 Bruce B. Downs Blvd, Tampa, Florida 33612, has a requirement for 3D printer, software and maintenance. This technology would allow the hospital to respond efficiently to the COVID-19 crisis by potentially printing, swabs, masks, shields, respirator parts, and more. This technology is also required to create personalized adaptive equipment, customized orthoses/prosthesis parts, pre-surgical planning tools, anatomical models to aid in training, and even wheelchair modifications.

BACKGROUND: The hospital has been relying on other sources for testing swabs and PPE for the current crisis, as these items cannot currently be made in house. Also, the customized needs of our Veterans for items such as adaptive equipment, wheelchair accessories, and orthoses is typically answered by prosthetics purchases from medical companies. But these items don’t always meet the custom needs of our Veterans. Currently, there are very few options in-house for such customization- there are options for thermoplastic hand molded orthoses within the occupational therapy hand clinic, but there are many limitations with this material and the customization that can be achieved with it.

PURPOSE: This type of additive manufacturing with 3D Printers will advance time to patient turnaround, save on cost, and reduce waste unlike traditional manufacturing processes.
