These finger orthoses are designed for extended or flexor tendon injuries in middle and end joints.
The injured finger is scanned with a 3D scanner so you can use the digital data with a CAD program to shape a finger orthosis, perfectly adapted to your finger.
This CAD model can be printed with a 3D-plotter in a variety of material densities.
According to the rehabilitation plan of the finger, the orthosis repeatedly gets printed in different degrees of density to support the healing process step by step.
This new technology does not only allow a design, that could not be produced so far, but also offers maximum individuality.
