The creation of an orthose starts with 3D scanning of the damaged area, and then the model is made using 3D printing. This allows you to correctly repeat the patient’s anatomy and configure the hardness of the product. In case of light injuries, flexible fixation that can be easily removed is used. Orthose is made more solid with more serious damage, such as fractures.
Among the advantages, developers note the radiological transmission of the material, water procedures and air permeability. This makes the product more suitable than traditional tissue or gypsum structures. In addition, the cost of such an orthosis is lower and the production time is only three days.
