ABOUT KATHRYN HEINZ
I am an R&D professional with a background in clinical research focused on developing personalized surgical solutions. As a Planning Technician in Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI), I help deliver highly customized, 3D-printed surgical solutions designed to improve patient outcomes. My work lies at the intersection of clinical imaging, data analysis, engineering, and operations—ensuring each surgical case is thoroughly planned, accurately documented, and completed on schedule.I collaborate closely with surgeons, imaging centers, sales representatives, engineers, and internal teams to guide PSI cases from initial intake through final production. This includes reviewing clinical data, CT scans, and X-rays for completeness and protocol adherence, performing 3D image segmentation and measurements, and converting clinical requirements into detailed manufacturing instructions. I make sure all case information is properly linked, communicated, and delivered so surgical teams receive their PSI surgical cut guides in time for each procedure.In the R&D space, I am driven by a commitment to continuous improvement—optimizing workflows, elevating data quality, and identifying new ways to streamline the development and delivery of customized surgical solutions. I also contribute to research efforts, data analytics, and cadaveric studies that support innovation and expand the use of patient-specific technologies in clinical practice.At the core of my work, I focus on precision, efficiency, and consistent communication to support surgeon needs, operational excellence, and patient care. I am committed to maintaining compliance, meeting internal quality standards, and delivering exceptional patient specific technology to improve patient outcomes.
