Problem
Pets experiencing orthopedic issues such as limb amputations, carpal hyperextension, or ACL rupture often require custom orthotics or prosthetics for support and improved mobility. Traditional methods of creating these devices can be time-consuming, imprecise, and result in poorly fitting, uncomfortable devices. This can lead to longer recovery times, reduced mobility, and a lower quality of life for affected animals.
Solution
WIMBA utilizes AI-powered 3D scanning and high-fidelity 3D printing to manufacture custom-fit, lightweight orthotics and prosthetics for pets. The WimbaAPP allows for precise scanning of the patient's limb in minutes, replacing traditional plaster casting methods. The resulting 3D-printed devices provide targeted support for various orthopedic conditions, including post-surgical recovery, limb amputations, and joint instability. WIMBA's products aim to enhance mobility, reduce pain, and improve the overall comfort and quality of life for pets with orthopedic challenges.
Target Audience
WIMBA's primary customers are veterinary orthopedic surgeons, general practitioners, and pet owners seeking advanced mobility solutions for pets with orthopedic conditions.
