Ricoh 3D Partners with Insight Surgery for Patient-Specific Guides

Ricoh USA, Inc. and Insight Surgery entered a strategic partnership to bring patient-specific surgical guides for pediatric and adult orthopedic and maxillofacial surgeries to market. This collaboration will provide broader access to these advanced surgical tools, enhancing surgical precision for surgeons and driving value into healthcare systems across the United States. 
 
The partnership between RICOH 3D for Healthcare, a leader in 3D printing solutions for the healthcare industry, and Insight Surgery, aims to revolutionize the standard of care in orthopedic, orthopedic oncology, and maxillofacial surgeries.
 
RICOH 3D for Healthcare will distribute Insight Surgery’s surgical guides tailored for a variety of applications in orthopedic surgery, including pediatric and adult osteotomy cases, pelvic surgeries, deformity corrections of the upper and lower limbs, orthopedic oncology, and the sourcing and shaping of allografts. 
 
The guides are also used in oral and maxillofacial surgeries, such as orthognathic, and facial reconstruction procedures. Each guide is designed and translates a bespoke virtual surgical plan onto a patient.
 
“Ricoh USA’s extensive presence in the healthcare sector, combined with its distribution and clinical application capabilities, makes them an ideal partner for Insight Surgery,” said Henry Pinchbeck, CEO of Insight Surgery. “By integrating our innovative surgical planning and guide solutions with Ricoh’s point-of-care network and enterprise-wide hospital 3D printing programs, we can offer surgeons reliable, fast, and high-quality devices to enhance patient outcomes. This partnership propels our shared vision of making personalized surgery available to every surgeon in the nation.”
 
Insight Surgery’s personalized surgical guides are made by a team of biomedical engineers and can be delivered with remarkable speed—expedited service within 10 working days and standard service within 10 to 20 working days. 
 
This rapid turnaround, coupled with Insight Surgery’s proprietary platform, EmbedMed, allows for seamless integration of digital surgical planning and guide production. The EmbedMed platform, a state-of-the-art software solution, facilitates the secure transfer of patient imaging data, supports the design process, and ensures precise manufacturing of surgical guides in ISO 13485-certified, FDA-registered facilities.
 
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to turn patient information into clinical and economic ROI,” said Gary Turner, Managing Director, Ricoh USA, Inc. “By leveraging Insight Surgery’s expertise and our own robust healthcare network, we are democratizing access to cutting-edge, patient-specific technologies, especially in underserved segments like pediatric care. We are setting a new standard for personalized surgery.”
 
The integration of these guides into the RICOH 3D for Healthcare portfolio aligns with Ricoh’s mission to deliver novel solutions to support enhanced surgical planning, medical training, patient education, and hospital-based innovation.
