Our team has recently delivered a bespoke 3D-printed elbow and wrist orthosis, designed to provide targeted support while maintaining functional movement where it matters most.
The wrist section incorporates a precision hinge, allowing controlled flexion and extension while preventing unwanted abduction and adduction. At the elbow, a total-contact, full-shell design holds the joint in fixed flexion - offering protection and stability following fusion, while also helping to manage neuropathic pain.
To support independence and ease of use, the brace features a removable front shell with a book-opening mechanism. Integrated 3D locators guide accurate alignment, allowing the patient to position their arm and secure the device confidently and independently.
⭐ This is a great example of how advanced digital design and patient-centred thinking can combine to create practical, life-enhancing solutions.
