3D printing orthoses: What are the advantages of the PRINTORTHESE®?

3D printing is being used more and more frequently in technical orthopedics. Using this process, orthoses can first be designed digitally and then constructed layer by layer.

Taking the anatomical requirements into account, 3D printing technology can be used to create an aesthetic aid with first-class functionality: the PRINTORTHESE®. The design options here are almost unlimited. You can personalize your PRINTORTHESE® according to your own wishes. Accessories such as watches, fitness trackers, lights, rhinestones or emblems can be easily integrated into the 3D printed orthosis. In this way, your medical aid becomes a functional piece of jewelry that is no longer hidden in everyday life, but rather proudly presented.

The PRINTORTHESE® offers numerous advantages:

- Scanning technology instead of plaster cast
- low weight thanks to the many free spaces
- reduced sweating through breathability
- Padding of possible pressure load zones using integrated gel pads
- improved tactile perception
- Co-design by the patient (choice of color and design)

Of course, in addition to 3D printed orthoses, conventional production and supply methods will continue to apply. However, initial studies show that the acceptance of the aid with the PRINTORTHESE® is relatively high compared to orthoses using conventional PE technology. Patients with PRINTORTHESE®, for example, use the affected hand more frequently for bimanual tasks and report increased comfort.
