Many workers and individuals with a sedentary lifestyle experience discomfort and back pain due to prolonged postures or repetitive strain. Orthopedic corsets provide an effective solution by offering support and relieving discomfort.
We take the patient’s measurements for a custom-made brace, ensuring precision and a perfect fit.
We test the brace on the patient, making adjustments to ensure effectiveness and comfort.
We deliver the brace, explaining its use and providing advice for proper maintenance.
The process begins with a 3D scan of the torso, from which we obtain a stylized digital mold for adjustments.
The file is processed using the OrtIS Essential CNC milling machine by Roboticom, which creates a physical polyurethane mold that is manually refined. The selected plastic material is then thermoformed and assembled.
After a trial on the patient, we refine details such as heights and pressure points to ensure correction and comfort.
