Labor Day is a powerful reminder that behind every innovation, every service, and every success, there are real people whose effort and dedication make it all possible. To all the dreamers, doers, builders, caregivers, and creators — thank you. We see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you. Wishing you a safe, joyful, and well-deserved break this Labor Day! 👷‍♂️ 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍🏭 👩‍💼 #LaborDay #ThankYouWorkers

🚨 Breaking News 🚨 Saint Francis Hospital was the first institution in Connecticut to place a VisionAir Patient-Specific 3D Stent!! We are so excited to hear about how well this experience turned out for both the provider and the patient. “This procedure is improving on a specialty we already have, but by making it more individualized for each patient, we are providing an innovative solution for those who need it.” 👇 Check out the link to read more about what Dr. Amrita Karambelkar had to say about working with VisionAir and using 3D stents. trinityhealthofne.org/newsroom/press… #PatientSpecific #3DStent #AirwayCare

✨The "VisionAir girls" had an amazing time at the AABIP & AIPPD Annual IP Fellows Boot Camp at the University of Maryland! 🙌 We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this event successful. It’s always inspiring to witness the energy, passion, and dedication that drive this incredible community forward. We’re excited to follow the fellows on their journeys this year as they grow their skills, deepen their knowledge, and shape the future of interventional pulmonology. There is no limit to what this group will achieve! 💥💡 #AABIP #AIPPD #IPFellows #3DStents #PatientSpecific

It’s that time of year again, and we’re thrilled to welcome the new IP Fellows at the AABIP/AIPPD Interventional Pulmonology Fellows Boot Camp! 👋 Stop by our table to explore the V3D software and learn more about our 3D Patient-Specific Stents. Let’s connect, collaborate, and kick off the fellowship journey together. We can’t wait to meet you all! 💬✨ #Pulmonology #InterventionalPulmonology #FellowsBootCamp #AABIP

@SKAvasarala @VisionAirStents @MaldonadoFabien I guess we will never know!

@VisionAirStents @TRGildea Based purely on facial expressions, I am very interested in what @TRGildea and @MaldonadoFabien are talking about in this picture.

A big thank you to Dr. Gildea for leading the poster presentation at #ATS2025: "A Method for Designing a Population-Based, Silicone Airway Stent for Off-the-Shelf Use." While our team wasn’t onsite this year, we’re proud to have contributed to the conversation around innovation in airway stenting. 👇 Were you able to view the poster or talk with Dr. Gildea? We'd love to hear your thoughts! 📄 Didn't get to attend? Our e-poster will be available later this week. Stay tuned! #ATS #AirwayStents #SiliconeStents #Pulmonology

🌟Employee Spotlight🌟 Meet Alexa, our super cool and incredibly talented Field Clinical Engineer! Whether she's supporting our clinicians with segmentations and 3D stent designs, or in the field working to understand real world challenges in high-pressure environments, Alexa brings dedication, consistency, and precision to everything she does! Off the clock, Alexa is just as dynamic. A former college soccer player, she now competes at the semi-pro level ⚽️(Go Suüsserfuss Ballverein!) and has been German dancing since early childhood —> she’s a Schuhplattler master! 💃🏼🇩🇪 Alexa is truly an adventurer at heart—hiking, traveling, and staying active whenever she can. When she’s not on the move, you’ll find her getting creative with acrylic painting and DIY projects or spending quality time with family and friends. We’re proud to have Alexa on the VisionAir team—her drive, determination, and team spirit make a lasting impact every day. #TeamVisionAir #EmployeeSpotlight #WomenInSTEM #Futbol

Today, we celebrate the strength, love, and endless care that mothers bring to the world. Thank you for everything you do 💐💝. We hope you feel cherished, celebrated, and appreciated—not just today, but every day! #MothersDay #ThankYouMoms

When a patient-specific stent fits well in a patient's airway, there’s often no need to start a new stent from scratch. Physicians can easily reorder a previously designed 3D stent! 🔁 From the V3D home page, navigate to your Orders tab, choose the patient and approved design, then proceed to checkout. #PatientSpecifc #StentDesign #Orders

@andrewz123 Wow! Congratulations

This #FistulaFriday, don’t settle for a standard silicone stock stent! 🚫 Check out this complex case where a Patient-Specific stent was crafted to fit the airway with a fistula. Tailored solutions like these can make all the difference in achieving optimal outcomes. 👏 #AirwayManagement #FistulaCare #PatientSpecific

Stent Design Basics 🎬: In this video, we walk you through the process of designing a Patient-Specific 3D Stent. Learn how to add and adjust design spheres to create the best fit for each patient’s airway. You’ll see how to change the size of each sphere and fine-tune their placement to ensure optimal alignment and contour. The result? A stent that’s tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient's airway. #StentDesignBasics #3DStent #PatientSpecific

Jailed Airway Indicators offer crucial guidance for physicians designing stents to navigate airway blockages. We can print one indicator per branch on each patient-specific stent. The yellow-highlighted Jailed Airway Indicators help physicians pinpoint exactly where to hole-punch the stent for precise placement 🎯 #JailedAirwayIndicator #JAI #StentDesign

Last night’s workshop in Boston was a fantastic success! We took a deep dive into the V3D app and software, and shared valuable insights on stent design. It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout, and it was also great to finally meet some of you in person! Glad to work with an inspiring group of pulmonologists 🙌 💻 #TrainingWorkshop #InterventionalPulmonology #Stents

Had an amazing time at the Mid-Year AABIP/AIPPD IP Fellows Advanced Course in Maryland! 🎉 It was an incredible few days of learning, networking, and collaboration. We thoroughly enjoyed participating in the workshop sessions and connecting with the talented fellows. Looking forward to the next opportunity to grow together! #AABIP #AIPPD #AdvancedCourse #InterventionalPulmonology

We’re thrilled for next week’s Mid-Year AABIP/AIPPD IP Fellows Advanced Course! 🙌 We’ll be teaching fellows how to design custom stents using our innovative software—empowering them to create the most effective, patient-specific solutions. Can’t wait to be there and dive into the design process with everyone! 🚀 #StentDesign #IPFellows #AABIP

This #FistulaFriday, we're emphasizing the importance of 3D stents and tailoring them to your patients. Each complex airway is unique and deserves a stent designed to fit their individual needs for the best possible outcomes! #Stenting #Airway #Fistula #3DStents

Looking to verify the branch length on your stent design? Need your stent to go 5mm past a stenotic region? Or perhaps you want to compare the sizing of an existing stent with your design? The Linear Measurement Tool in the V3D CT Viewer can help with all of these tasks and more! #CTViewer #Stenting

Halloween was last week and while we love ingenuity in the bronch suite, we’ve got some sweet tools to help you leave #Frankenstents 👻🛠️ in the past! With our free, web-based #V3D Stent Architect software, we can help you create your #patientspecific airway stent without all the mid-procedure arts and crafts! 🚫📏✂️ #lungtransplant #airwaydisease #CAO #Ystent #interventionalpulmonology #IP #breathe
