Personalized device baseplate using 3D scanning and substractive manufacturing

A method for generating a customized ostomy baseplate, the method comprising:

• providing an existing ostomy appliance comprising an ostomy baseplate;
• via three-dimensional scanning operations, acquiring a peristomal contour map of a patient's stomal region, the peristomal contour map including raw contour map data;
• generating filtered contour map data by computationally filtering the raw contour map data;
• generating a customized stoma template for fitting the existing ostomy appliance to the patient's stomal region;
• generating the customized ostomy baseplate by modifying the ostomy baseplate using the customized stoma template, the modification achieved by applying the customized stoma template to the ostomy baseplate and laser subtracting material from the ostomy baseplate to match a shape and/or a design of the customized stoma template.

A method of generating a customized negative pressure vacuum baseplate for wound healing, the method comprising:

• via three-dimensional scanning operations, acquiring a contour map of at least part of a patient's wound and surrounding area to generate contour map data;
• computationally filtering the contour map data in relation to a negative pressure vacuum baseplate based on the at least part of a patient's wound and surrounding area;
• generating a customized negative pressure vacuum template based on the computationally filtered contour map data;
• and
• modifying the negative pressure vacuum baseplate by applying the customized negative pressure vacuum template to the negative pressure vacuum baseplate and using subtractive manufacturing to match the negative pressure vacuum baseplate to the customized negative pressure vacuum template, thereby providing a customized negative pressure vacuum baseplate based on the computationally filtered contour map data.

A method of generating a customized fistula management pouch baseplate for wound healing, the method comprising:

• via three-dimensional scanning operations, acquiring a contour map of at least part of a patient's fistula and surrounding area to generate contour map data;
• computationally filtering the contour map data in relation to a fistula management pouch baseplate based on the at least part of a patient's fistula and surrounding area;
• generating a customized fistula management pouch template based on the computationally filtered contour map data;
• and
• modifying the fistula management pouch baseplate by applying the customized fistula management pouch template to the fistula management pouch baseplate and using subtractive manufacturing to match the fistula management pouch baseplate to the customized fistula management pouch template, thereby providing a customized fistula management pouch baseplate based on the computationally filtered contour map data.
