Atlanta VA is the first VA Healthcare System in the VA Health Administration to acquire the ActivArmor 3D printing system for VA patients. Austin Samuelson and Greg Doss are leading the charge at the AVAHCS along with Joe Honeycutt from the Prosthetics Service Line and Diana Hall, ActivArmor's CEO/President/Founder.

Acquisition of the ActivArmor system was done with a special Defense Health Agency SBIR research contract for VA and DoD medical facilities. ActivArmor, used by many professional sports teams for their athletes' injuries and healing of them, is fully FDA approved and biocompatible, and is ISO certified.

These 3D printed medical devices are durable, sturdy, and patients can be scanned with them for imaging exams and they can also bathe with them while wearing them. This greatly improves efficiency and speed of care for our patients. Devices for printing times range from 4 hours to next day for a full printed device and finished device that is custom designed, fitted, and printed for each patient.
