We are cardiologists. We do stuff.

Posts on social media is not what we do best. We are cardiologists. We do stuff.

HartPlastic partnered up with NHL Stenden (Judith Ogink Marcel Crul Mariska van Cronenberg Johannes van der Steen) and Jonathan Salt to boost our initiative. With help from CitoForma and Samenwerkingsverband Noord-Nederland (SNN) we made the first steps to turn plastic PETG waste in to 3D printing filament. PETG from the cathlab of Medisch Centrum Leeuwarden is shredded, dried and made in to filament. Our fuel is still improving. Not magic, but a first step to be part of the solution.

Innovation is not always about new diagnostics or therapies, but also about new ways such as transforming a healthcare system in to a sustainable one. By healthcare professionals in the field, but more important, together with knowledge partners outside the pitch (NHL Stenden).

What do you want us to make from the hospital PETG waste? Anyone out there with a good healthcare-related-3D-printing product idea? Let us know.
