Digitally Designed and Fabricated (3D Printed) Orthopedic Casts and Braces for Fracture Management
The future of orthopedic casting technology
The first digitally fabricated orthopedic cast in the US available on a commercial basis.
EXO3D orthopedic casts and braces represent the future of orthopedic technology. The casts and braces are digitally fit to the patient using a 3-dimensional scan of the patient's limb. MedFab3D custom designed 3D printers produce the cast or brace typically within 24 hours of fit approval (time could vary based on cast type).
Delivery
EXO3D orthopedic casts and braces are delivered through the physician's office or clinic. MedFab3D provides all of the support needed for delivery by working the the physician's medical staff to acquire the data needed to manufacture the cast. MedFab3D offers free training to utilize the EXO3D casting system and support for application and removal.
Digital Measurement
The patient's limb is measured using a 3D scanner at the physician's office. The process takes minutes. If the injured limb cannot be used for imaging, the uninjured limb may be used.
Digital Cast Fitting
The digital scan of the patient's limb is used to create a digital model. the model can be positioned for the type of cast prescribed. MedFab3D creates the cast from the digital data and communicates with the physician's office to evaluate fit before the cast is produced.
Digital Manufacturing
Once the fit and style has been verified with the physician's office, the cast or brace is manufactured on our custom designed 3D printers.
Clinical Delivery and Application
The completed cast of brace is delivered to the physician's office or clinic. The casting technician applies the cast or brace to the patient utilizing the fasteners and training provided by MedFab3D. The application of the cast takes less than 20 minutes.
Removal
EXO3D casts are designed to be removed easily in less than 5 minutes without the use of a cast saw. MedFab3D uses a unique fastener design to close the cast that simplifies application and removal. The cast may be reapplied to the patient after removal with the use of new fasteners (provided free of charge). This process allows the cast to be easily removed during treatment for examination or imaging.
Wearability
EXO3D casts are waterproof when used with Delta-Dry or similar synthetic padding. The cast is resistant to staining and may be worn in the shower. The casts are smoother than traditional fiberglass casts. The cast material is an FDA approved copolyester plastic that is tough and durable. The cast is manufactured with small holes that allow the cast to drain water and dry easily. The cast may be cleaned using warm (no hot) tap water. If the cast is excessively dirty, it can be removed by the physician's office or clinic for cleaning and reapplication.
Guarantee
EXO3D casts and braces are unconditionally guaranteed. MedFab3D will replace any cast or brace component that prematurely wears or becomes unusable at no cost.
Cast and Brace Types
EXO3D casts and braces are available in a variety of types for the lower arm and leg. MedFab3D has the ability to do custom designs for casts or braces not in our inventory. Contact MedFab3D for more information about custom designs.
