Introduction
Baltic Implants, a trademark of Ortho Baltic, specializes in the production of custom-made prosthetic-orthotic devices and patient-specific implants using additive manufacturing technology. Established in 2001, the company has expanded its services to include a variety of medical implants and surgical guides, employing advanced 3D printing technologies and biocompatible materials.

Company Overview
Ortho Baltic is a pioneer in Eastern Europe for patient-specific implants, utilizing materials such as titanium alloy, cobalt-chrome alloy, polyamide, and ceramics. The company collaborates with universities and hospitals, participates in Horizon 2020, and adheres to ISO standards for quality management. Their products are primarily exported to Benelux, Scandinavia, Germany, and Switzerland.

Design and Manufacturing
The hip joint endoprosthesis consists of femoral stem, liner, and acetabular components, which can be standard or patient-specific. Patient-specific implants are recommended for severe conditions. The design process involves free-form modeling and 3D metal printing to create implants that match individual anatomy, ensuring better anatomical and biomechanical compatibility, reduced complications, and improved patient outcomes.

Advantages
Patient-specific hip joint endoprostheses offer better anatomical compatibility, improved functional outcomes, minimized side effects, reduced surgical risks, and shorter recovery times.

Process Overview
The process begins with the surgeon filling an order form and providing patient data. The design is reviewed and approved by the surgeon before manufacturing. Implants are 3D-printed using DMLS technology and undergo strict quality assurance, including non-destructive testing and sterilization. The final product is delivered to the hospital with all necessary documentation.

Quality Assurance
Each part undergoes rigorous quality checks, including FEA for strength characteristics and inspections for chemical composition and geometrical accuracy. The 3D reconstruction of patient anatomy is performed by medical imaging engineers under radiologist supervision.
