Problem
Traditional casts and splints are often bulky, uncomfortable, and prevent patients from maintaining proper hygiene due to their inability to get wet or be easily cleaned. This can lead to skin irritation, odor, and an overall reduction in quality of life during the healing process.
Solution
ActivArmor offers custom-fit, 3D-printed casts and splints that address the limitations of traditional immobilization devices. These casts are designed to precisely match a patient's anatomy using a 3D scan, providing a comfortable and secure fit. The open lattice structure allows for breathability and the ability to wash and sanitize the cast, promoting better hygiene and skin health. ActivArmor enables patients to maintain an active lifestyle during recovery, including showering, swimming, and participating in sports, without compromising the healing process.
Target Audience
ActivArmor serves patients of all ages recovering from bone fractures and other orthopedic injuries, as well as physicians, orthopedic clinics, and hospitals looking to offer advanced casting solutions.
