Abstract

COVID-19 has been spread in more than 220 countries and caused global health concerns. The supply chain disruptions have abruptly affected due to the second wave of COVID-19 in various countries and caused unavailability and shortage of medical devices and personal protective equipment for frontline healthcare workers. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has proven to be a boon and revolutionized technology to supply medical devices and tackle the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The diverse designs were produced and are currently used in hospitals by patients and frontline healthcare doctors. This review summarises the application of 3D printing during COVID-19. It collects the comprehensive information of recently designed and fabricated protective equipment like nasopharyngeal swabs, valves, face shields, facemasks and many more medical devices. The drawbacks and future challenges of 3D printed medical devices and protective equipment is discussed.

新型冠状病毒肺炎期间采用3D打印技术制作的个人防护装备

新冠肺炎疫情已在220多个国家蔓延，引发全球卫生关切。由于各国的第二波COVID-19疫情，供应链中断突然受到影响，导致一线医护人员的医疗器械和个人防护装备缺货和短缺。事实证明，三维(3D)打印在供应医疗设备和应对COVID-19大流行造成的情况方面是一项福音和革命性的技术。这些设计多种多样，目前已被医院的病人和一线医护医生使用。本文综述了3D打印技术在新冠肺炎疫情中的应用。它收集了最近设计和制造的防护设备的全面信息，如鼻咽拭子、瓣膜、面罩、口罩和许多其他医疗器械。讨论了3D打印医疗设备和防护设备的缺点和未来的挑战。
