Anthill Ventures, a speed scaling ecosystem that invests in and scales early-stage startups has announced a partnership with Israeli health tech company Kanfit3D. 

Anthill will help Kanfit3D scale in India by providing them market access to numerous healthcare providers and also enable them to manufacture custom-made medical implants.

Anthill has helped Kanfit3D set up an India presence and enabled them to set up a manufacturing unit in India by partnering them with local 3D printing manufacturing company.
 

This partnership is aimed to revolutionise the custom medical implants industry in India. Medical implants in India are usually imported from overseas destinations like Germany, which are expensive and have a higher gestation rate to reach India. The medical implants made in India are also not customized for each patient which does not allow patients to absorb and build bone quickly thus posing a higher risk of infections and are likely to delay post-op recovery. 

The non-customised medical implants do not offer design flexibility and also pose a higher risk of stress shielding. With an endeavour to be recognized internationally as the most advanced additive manufacturing facility for 3D implants and medical devices through the development and implementation of efficient, automatable processes, Kanfit3D will help doctors and hospitals in India to provide their patients with custom medical implants that are made specifically for them with the best quality, under high standard and health regulation, competitive cost and short supply time.
