The Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine (iRSM) is a joint initiative of the University of Alberta, Covenant Health, and Alberta Health Services, providing clinical care, research, education, and training in reconstructive medicine. iRSM has been a pioneer in the use of 3D printing in day to day patient care, advancing their head and neck cancer care workflow.. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread, iRSM expanded this focus to see how 3D printing could be used to produce nasopharyngeal (NP) test swabs for Alberta Health Services.
