Xilloc ( /ˌɛkˈsɪlɒk/ ek-SILL-ok [1]), headquartered in Maastricht, The Netherlands is a company that designs and manufactures patient-specific medical devices.
Xilloc was founded in 2011 by Maikel Beerens as a spin-off from the Maastricht UMC+ on the principle of using CT imaging to create a 3D model of the anatomy of a patient and then use this data to design and manufacture an implant. This principle was used to create the first 3D printed titanium skull implant in 2003. [2]
In the founding year, Xilloc made the first 3D printed titanium mandible for an elderly woman who suffered from a severe infection in her lower jaw. [3] [4] [5] [6] In 2015, Xilloc announced a partnership with Japanese company Next21 to offer CT-Bone, a 3D printed artificial bone material. [7] [8] [9] [10]
Soon after in 2016 the company produced the world's first 3D printed metal guitar on their M400 machine in aluminium. [11] [12] [13]
In 2018 Xilloc acquired the company OTN, who developed the Click Safety Adapter. [14] [15] This adapter provides a safe connection between a limb prosthesis and an osseointegration implant. [16]
