The Hospital
Lerdsin Hospital is a public hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. It‘s a teaching
hospital, typically reporting over 500 beds, and manages a high volume of
patients annually, indicating its significant role in urban healthcare.
Lerdsin hospital is particularly distinguished for its Orthopedics
department, which has a long-standing history since 1957 and serves
as an accredited training center. Beyond this specialty, Lerdsin provides
comprehensive medical services across numerous departments,
including general medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and emergency care.
As a teaching hospital affiliated with the Ministry of Public Health and
several universities, Lerdsin maintains a strong reputation for delivering
quality, affordable healthcare. It is recognized as a reliable option for
various medical needs, particularly within the public health system.
Metal 3D Printing Initiative
Every orthopedic patient presents with unique challenges, and in many cases, standard implants available on the market cannot address highly specific anatomical needs. With metal 3D printing, Lerdsin Hospital can design and manufacture fully customized implants that match each patient’s individual bone structure. Beyond implants, the technology also allows for the rapid prototyping of surgical tools and instruments, accelerating innovation and improving surgical care.
The broader vision behind this initiative is to make personalized treatment more accessible to patients across Thailand. By integrating metal 3D printing into clinical practice, Lerdsin Hospital not only delivers tailored solutions for complex cases but also positions itself as a leader in advancing medical 3D printing technology in the region.
