Problem
Current methods for creating custom orthotics and prosthetics often involve manual measurement and fabrication processes, which can be time-consuming and may not always result in an optimal fit for the patient. This can lead to discomfort, reduced functionality, and longer lead times for patients requiring these devices.
Solution
Manometric provides a technology for creating custom-fitted hand braces and splints using a proprietary 3D hand scanner and automated design software. The process begins with a rapid, non-invasive scan of the patient's hand, capturing precise anatomical data. This data is then used by the company's software to generate a design tailored to the individual's needs. The resulting design is used to produce a brace or splint constructed from high-end materials, ensuring an accurate fit and optimal support. This streamlined process reduces the time required to deliver custom orthotics, providing patients with comfortable and effective solutions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals requiring custom hand and wrist support due to conditions such as arthritis, hypermobility, and injuries, as well as medical professionals such as orthopedists and hand therapists seeking efficient and accurate orthotic solutions for their patients.
