The <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D print<\/a>ed orthoses are tailored to each patient, much lighter and more breathable than traditional devices. Thanks to their flexibility, they are easy to remove and replace to monitor the healing process and make adjustments if required, without having to st<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> over with a new device, thus saving valuable time, costly material, and unnecessary waste.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional immobilization devices like plaster casts are very uncomfortable. Producing, adapting, and fitting traditional immobilization devices is an exhausting, time-consuming, and highly wasteful process. Healthcare providers are aware of the situation but they have generally been very slow in opening up to AM processes. While in some cases the AM solutions were just not feasible, in many other cases they were just not known to exist or were simply too hard to integrate into their existing workflows.<\/p>\n<p>This may change now as Spentys is using high-performance materials by Forward AM to offer a solution that is already delivering real-world results and taking immobilization devices to the next level.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.facfox.com\/imgs\/2021\/06\/4315606b045fddcc.png\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Focusing on two main points of care, Emergency Rooms and orthopedic technicians, Spentys is enabling healthcare providers to act faster and provide their patients with a much more comfortable, customized solution.
