ActivArmor has changed my life! When I was diagnosed with severe never damage by my doctor and needed to be put into a cast, it really hurt me because I knew what they meant. My nerve damage is extensive and will take a year or more to heal, but I still wanted to work out, shower, wash. This is making my healing process so much more enjoyable and while I have a long road of healing ahead, I’m very happy with the cast I have, seeing what I can do with it! These should be all across America and replace fiberglass casts everywhere!

"My brace has given me the freedom to do things I couldn't do with a standard cast while giving me the support I need to protect my wrist fracture.
I love it and would recommend it to anyone with any problem requiring extra support!"
Mother
"My son, Robert, is a very active child: water skiing, climbing, baseball, swimming, you name it and as such he injured his arm the first week of summer vacation. Knowing his injury required a cast, we assumed Robert would miss out on all of the summer fun with his friends. He was going to have to wear a stinky itchy cast like his sister did before him. given that Robert had just been invited to a pool party, I asked the doctor if there were any options. When the doctor prescribed an ActivArmor™ cast we were thrilled! ActivArmor™ was the answer to what would've been a dreary summer otherwise. My son said it was very comfortable to wear. He loved being able to shower with the cast on. No smell, no discomfort, and no irritated/itchy skin."
Patient
"Out and about with my ActivArmor™ cast... I have sent more people to your site than you can believe. Everyone asks about it and I love telling your story.
Thank you for giving me back my summer. I have been boating, swimming everyday, paddleboarding, kayaking, and rafting since I got my cast. I am able to shower, and unfortunately do dishes. I can wash my dogs, and hose down my hogs. If when I am throwing hay, it shakes out of the cast. It is not smelly either. My baby Toy Chihuahua loves to chew on it. I just wish I had more than one color to coordinate with my clothes. But I am always answering questions about it and sending people to your site."

Treatment of fractures using 3D-printed orthoses

- Pros and cons
- Further development of technology
3D printed models of fixators or so-called orthoses have been used in the treatment of fractures for a long time, but so far this technology has not received wide application.
In this article, we will consider all the pros and cons of this method compared to the traditional plaster cast, and also try to predict the future technological revolution in this most conservative, but very reliable and effective treatment method. nine0003
History of the emergence of technology
Orthopedic plasters are used to facilitate the healing process of broken bones. Acting like a pin, the cast keeps the limbs in place to prevent the bone from healing improperly. Modern dressings are made mainly of gypsum or fiberglass, and the idea of creating a fixing (immobilizing) dressing belongs to the Russian surgeon Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov. In 1847, during the fighting in the Caucasus, he first used a fixing "stuck bandage". At first, starch was used as a hardening agent, which Pirogov later replaced with gutta-percha, and, finally, with gypsum. A modern plaster cast is a hygroscopic bandage sprinkled with plaster. Produced industrially, in sealed packaging. When soaked in water, gypsum plaster begins to harden.
Application can take up to 45 minutes, and a full cast can take 24 to 72 hours. Removing plaster is also a difficult procedure: hardened plaster can only be broken safely with a special power saw. nine0003
Naturally, there are many opportunities to improve this technology, and the pioneers of 3D printing saw the potential of additive manufacturing to solve the emerging problems. The first 3D printed retainers were introduced in 2013. At the same time, the scheme for the production of an orthosis became clear. It consists of 3 main steps.
Stage 1: X-ray
To determine the exact position of the broken bone, a standard x-ray of the patient's limb is taken. nine0003
Stage 2: 3D modeling
The patient's arm is scanned with a 3D scanner to create a 3D model. Based on the exact dimensions of the patient's hand, a perfectly fitting impression shape can be made.
Stage 3: 3D printing
The orthosis is 3D printed from lightweight plastic and can be fitted to the patient in seconds.
Although the technology has been around for nearly a decade, 3D printed orthoses have yet to see significant adoption. This is mainly due to the lack of specific data on their practical benefits. But the situation began to change. nine0003
In a 2020 study, Chinese scientists compared 3D printed orthoses for treating hand fractures with traditional casts and external fixed splints. The results of the study showed that, compared to a cast, 3D orthoses provide a higher level of comfort and a reduction in pain. Technology is being used more and more. Children's Hospital in Colorado announced that it is the first pediatric hospital in the United States to begin fitting 3D printed orthoses for children. The new technology improves the results of treatment, and also removes a number of restrictions that exist when using traditional methods of treatment. nine0003
The possibilities offered by 3D printed orthoses
The invention of plaster was one of the greatest medical discoveries.
But nevertheless, it has a number of significant drawbacks that can be overcome with the help of 3D printing. Putting on a cast can be a long, laborious, messy, and even painful process. Very careful measurements are required. 3D printing solves all these problems. The orthosis can be easily fixed in seconds with a pair of clips. Removal is also simple, and does not require the use of dangerous electric saws. nine0003
One of the significant disadvantages of plaster is that it does not breathe. The plaster prevents air from contacting the skin. This can lead to clogged pores, and some patients may develop dangerous skin infections in the wounds. Moreover, constant heat, sweat and pressure can cause very unpleasant itching. In turn, 3D-printed orthoses are made in the form of a lattice, consisting of open sections with plastic racks. This ensures the necessary structure and incomplete coverage of the hand, and therefore a higher level of comfort. nine0003
Gypsum cannot be wetted, water will destroy the structure.
The patient cannot take a shower, he is afraid to get caught in the rain. 3D printed orthoses are made of waterproof plastic, so you can even swim with them.
Another disadvantage of conventional gypsum is the inability to properly distribute pressure. Perhaps this is the biggest negative, and it slows down the healing process. A 3D printed orthosis is custom designed and its lattice structure can be designed to add strength to specific areas that need support and relieve pressure elsewhere. nine0003
The idea for the mesh structure of the orthosis came from New Zealand engineers Ollie and Jake Eville. They developed a prototype in 2013 and later created one of the world's first orthopedic orthoses using 3D printing. Lightweight, breathable, high-tech and providing localized support for broken bones, the orthosis showed everyone the promise of this technology. This work earned them 2nd place at the International James Dyson Technology Awards and their design vision led them to work as designers on the recent Hollywood blockbuster Blade Runner 2049.
Well, now I would like to talk a little about specific 3D printing technologies in the field of creating orthoses and companies that provide such a service to patients and doctors.
3D printed orthoses
In most cases, 3D printers using FDM technology are used to create 3D printed orthoses. The model is formed by layer-by-layer application of molten plastic thread. The main advantage of the technology is the low cost of the material, and hence the low cost of the model itself. But the main disadvantage is the printing speed, which does not allow you to create a model in the presence of the patient. It is also worth considering the maximum height of the building. Large-format printers such as the Raise3D Pro2 Plus and Picaso Designer XL are great for these tasks, and are highly reliable and capable of 24/7 operation. nine0003
Recently, orthoses have also begun to be printed on photopolymer 3D printers, the speed of which is higher, and the finish surface of the finished models is more pleasant to the touch.
But this technology has its drawbacks: the need for post-processing of models and the many times higher cost of printing materials. Phrozen Transform Fast and FormLabs 3L photopolymer 3D printers suitable for this task are worth noting. The printer from the American company FormLabs, together with the whole ecosystem built by the manufacturer, can become an indispensable tool, but the model from the Taiwanese manufacturer Phrozen will attract those who are not ready to immediately make big investments, but want to try the possibilities of 3D printing. nine0003

3D Printed Orthosis Business Cases
Well, now some interesting examples of businesses from around the world built on the use of this innovative treatment technology.
CastPrint is a service bureau founded by entrepreneurs Janis Olins and Sigvards Krongorns in Latvia. What makes it special is that the bureau develops not only orthoses for certain parts of the hands (wrist, thumb, other fingers), but also one of the first for the treatment of leg injuries. nine0003
CastPrint has expanded its business to the point where its technologies have become commonplace in the Latvian healthcare market, and last year expanded to the UK, where several private healthcare firms have adopted the technology into everyday practice.
Spanish company Xkelet decided to speed up the 3D printing of orthoses. Its COO Tim Dobrinich was unhappy with the 2-hour process from scanning to production and decided to cut it down to 15-30 minutes. He used a special camera mount on an iPad and a custom app. The patient's limb is photographed from all sides, and the cast model is formed in seconds. Thus, there is no need for longer separate 3D scanning and modeling.
Xkelet orthoses use anchor points called o-rings. They allow you to recast the same model several times, making the product reusable. In April 2021, the company received an award at the international design festival Red Dot Award in Berlin for the design of a 3D printed orthosis. nine0003
The Russian company Zdravprint took a different path and began to create orthoses based on the patient's biometric parameters. A special program converts the dimensions of the patient's arm into a 3D model of an individual orthosis. Printing time is 15 to 90 minutes. Products have an internal three-dimensional structure, which makes the thermoforming process more convenient. Forming the product for the patient takes 5 minutes.
Zdravprint works with leading Moscow medical institutions, for example, from 294th City Clinical Hospital of Moscow and 4th City Clinical Hospital of Moscow. Hundreds of patients have already been treated with the company's products.
Pluses and minuses
Summing up, I would like to once again emphasize the pros and cons of the new method.
The advantages include patient comfort, easy application and removal, as well as a lower cost compared to a plaster cast. The custom design of the 3D printed orthosis makes the treatment process much more efficient, and the open lattice structure improves breathability, which is especially important when treating children. It is strong and lightweight, and does not restrict movement like regular plaster. Reuse also reduces costs (as suggested by Xkelet). Orthoses can be redesigned and modified using existing structure and less material. nine0003
On the negative side, there is less data on the effectiveness of use in the treatment of injuries than on the use of gypsum. Even now, as more and more studies are being conducted that support this effectiveness, a medical consensus has yet to be reached. For this reason, the technology has not yet been widely adopted. It will take time to collect the evidence base, and we just have to wait a bit. It is also difficult to use orthoses for the treatment of leg fractures.
They are comparatively larger and more uncomfortable than their counterparts for hand fractures, make it difficult to wear socks and shoes, and have more restrictions. nine0003
Further development of technology
One of the next tasks that 3D printed orthoses should solve is to fix entire limbs, and not just a hand, wrist, foot or ankle. Industry leaders are trying to develop hand orthoses that extend beyond the elbow to reach the shoulder and biceps as well as the hip to treat leg fractures. Some of the most devastating and hard-to-heal injuries occur in these areas, mostly as a result of car and motorcycle accidents, and casts are used for such injuries as well. nine0003
3D printed orthoses are currently available worldwide in the paid healthcare market. However, patients receiving free public health care are unlikely to hear about them. This is primarily due to the same lack of the necessary research base, clearly confirming the effectiveness and safety of the technology.
But we hope that it will be assembled soon, and the technology will become available to everyone.
An example of an automated 3D process in orthopedics. The scan received using the phone (the shooting process took 5 minutes) is automatically converted into a 3D model (20 minutes) and printed on a 3D printer (5 hours). The Raise3D Pro2 Plus printer was used. nine0003
Sourced from 3DSourced
First 3D printed modular turntable built, DIY kit planned for mass production
The Dutch manufacturer of 3D printers RepRapUniverse and the Swiss company Lenco, which creates turntables, decided to please fans of the archaic with another electrophone. Unlike other companies that duplicate devices from the good old 70s and 80s, the tandem of manufacturers intends to launch a DIY kit into a series. It will allow everyone to assemble the Lenco-MD turntable with their own hands, having previously printed most of the parts on a 3D printer. nine0003
A working prototype of the turntable was presented at the IFA 2018 Consumer Electronics Faire in Berlin.
A kickstarter campaign was launched to support the project, and likely to explore global demand. Under the cut, a few words about what the electrophone promises to be for self-printing and assembly, and what has already been implemented in the prototype.
What was shown in Berlin?
The Lenco-MD prototype, shown at IFA 2018, is a turntable assembled from a set of components and parts printed on a 3D printer and equipped with a tonearm. Due to the fact that the modules for the electrophone are still being developed, it was shown in a standard wired version. nine0003
The turntable is equipped with a belt drive, which the manufacturers claim provides smooth movement, an original design arm with an AT3600 cartridge from Audio-Technica.
The table is mounted on special damping feet.
In the basic configuration of the prototype there is also a built-in preamplifier (phono stage) with headphone output and RCA.
At the demonstration of the project in Berlin, representatives of the manufacturers noted that it was a “green” project.
The main parts of the player's construction are made of PLA, a biodegradable thermoplastic that does not harm the environment. It is planned to use renewable energy sources for food. nine0003
The latter is popular as a reliable and stable device. All components used in the Lenco-MD have already been tested with the serial Lenco L-85 turntable.
The 3D printer used to print the prototype and the player that formed the basis of the development
The assembly of Lenco-MD deserves special mention, which, according to the assurances of the developers, takes only a few minutes.
quick assembly process
The
Lenco-MD solar-powered wireless turntable promises to be the world's first turntable that can literally be printed at home and assembled using a few additional parts that come with the kit (motor, belt, cartridge, etc.). The device assumes a quick replacement of modules and the possibility of individualizing the design.
Now it is planned to implement a module with a small amplifier and speakers, a Bluetooth module, a module with a solar battery. Each of them will be sold separately. nine0003
It will be possible to change almost everything in the player (tonram, cartridge, phono stage, etc.)
There is a way out of this situation - buy a partially or completely printed set of parts. Manufacturers rightly reasoned that not everyone has 3D printers or the size of a home 3D printer does not match the size of the parts. There are several options for basic kits, for those who have a small 3D printer - partial and for those who do not have one at all - full.
Moreover, those wishing to assemble Lenco-MD are offered to buy ready-made spare parts for small-scale screwdriver assembly. With a strong desire and sufficient demand, you can turn a hobby into a business. Lenco's flexible policy encourages electronics manufacturers to create modules for the turntable, effectively opening up opportunities for expanding functionality.
