Lee Tai’s 3D Surgical Planning Software Wins Gold Medal at 48th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions

MAY 15, 2023

Lee Kee Group is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Lee Tai Precious Metal Company Limited has been awarded the “Gold Medal with Congratulations of the Jury” at the 48th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions (the “Exhibition”) in recognition of its collaboration with the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong to create semi-automatic 3D planning software for osteotomy jig generation.

The gold medal with congratulations is the highest-class medal in the Exhibition, one of the world’s most prestigious innovation events.

The 3D planning software designs and creates surgical templates (i.e. jigs) for 3D printing for osteotomy surgical procedures that are fully customized to individual patients, using AI algorithms that automatically segments medical images. This technology reduces planning and surgery times, shortens surgery waiting lists, improves efficiency and ultimately benefits the community as a whole.

Mr. Patrick Chan, Executive Director of Lee Kee Group, said, “We are very pleased to see our latest invention win the highest-class medal from the expert jury panel at the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions. With AI and 3D printing technologies set to drive the future of medical innovation, Lee Kee is proud to be a pioneer in this field given our leadership and history of innovation in providing quality metals and metal solutions to various industries, as well as solutions beyond metals that benefits all of society”.

“Through Lee Tai’s cooperation with the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, we are further strengthening university-enterprise collaboration in Hong Kong while supporting its development as a technology and innovation hub.”
