FotoScan 3D
FotoScan 3D is a unique scanning system that creates instant 3D digital casts and delivers accurate and repeatable foot measurements. 
 
A FotoScan 3D foot scan is a quick and simple photographic process, taking only a few seconds per foot. The result is a 3D digital cast, accurate to within 0.5 mm, allowing you to take a wide range of precise foot measurements.  
 
And FotoScan 3D digital casts can also be viewed in full colour. So as well as measuring foot shape, you can also accurately measure and monitor ulcers and other serious skin conditions. 
 
FotoScan 3D is a powerful clinical tool with proven applications in: 
 
- 3D casting for custom orthopeadic footwear 
- accurate measurements for stock and modular footwear 
- 3D casting and foam box scanning for custom orthotic insoles 
- 2D and 3D measurement of foot ulcers and wounds 
- full colour 3D images for clinical records 
 
FotoScan 3D is already in clinical use throughout the world and is revolutionising the supply of orthotics and custom footwear.

 

Innovative Carbon Fibre Orthoses
Crispin Orthotics Ltd offers a range of bespoke Carbon Fibre Orthotic solutions to provide clinicians with a real alternative to thermoplastic Orthoses. 
 
In addition to the well documented high strength, low weight properties associated with carbon fibre, the post preg material used by Crispin Orthotics has the benefit of being heat mouldable after manufacture, enabling adjustments to be performed in clinic and avoid time consuming return of the Orthosis to the manufacturer for adjustment 
 
The material properties are fully exploited and Orthoses of any shape can be produced. In addition, by varying the carbon fibre mix within the substrate, a mix of structural/functional characteristics within an individual Orthosis can be achieved  
 
Our specialist product team can create an Orthosis to meet individual patient needs using functional requirement data provided by the clinician in conjunction with their knowledge of carbon mechanics. Alternatively the clinician can create their design using a carbon Orthosis specification form which can be provided on request

 

Casting Safety Strip
Safety of your patient is paramount especially in these days of litigation. Cast removal has been a potentially dangerous process in the past when using knives or blades. It is the duty of the clinician to prevent the patient from being put at risk. 
 
The Casting Safety Strip is a specially made PVC channel that creates a space under the plaster for your plaster scissors, protecting the patient at all times. 
 
We can now offer our specially designed stainless steel plaster scissors for use with the Casting Safety Strip. Not only are they safe, they make plaster removal extremely easy. 
 
The Casting Safety Strip process is used in the teaching of student Prosthetists and Orthotists in the UK. 
 
Casting Safety Strip - £15.90 per metre 
 
Special Cast Scissors - £19.00 per pair 
 
Prosthetist/Orthotist Starter Kit - £35.00

ProCare Diabetic Shoe
The new ProCare Diabetic shoe from DJO, offers an ideal solution for the treatment of diabetic ulcers. The shoe includes the Impax insole which is constructed of pre-cut layered Plastazote foam. The bottom two layers of foam can be easily removed around the affected areas and help to relieve pressure from specific areas so promote wound healing. Another key benefit in the design is that the top layer of foam stays in contact with the plantar surface of the foot, not allowing for 'hot spots'. 
 
The shoe can be easily taken on and off which allows access to the affected area whilst the removable reinforced squared toe box and wide foot bed leave ample room for wound dressings. It is also lightweight with a rocker sole making it easier and more comfortable to walk as the redistribution of weight of the patient through the plantar surface off-loads the wound area. 
 
The shoe has even been made in a universal left/right sizing making this new addition to the ProCare range another excellent tool in the quest to maximise patient comfort in the foot and ankle market.

 

Hiptric™
The Hiptric™ is a post-operative brace designed to protect primary arthroplasty patients at risk of dislocation, hip revision patients, recurrent dislocations, inoperable hip abnormalities or for preventative use in everyday living.  
 
The innovative design prevents hip dislocation post-surgically by dynamically applying an abduction force to the affected side and by limiting flexion and extension, movements which can trigger a dislocation.  
 
The unique sliding joint follows anatomical hip movement and provides an abduction force which increases as adduction increases, allowing for a natural gait when walking. Unlike a conventional orthosis, the Hiptric™ maintains a constant abduction force when the patient is sitting or ascending stairs.  
 
The low profile design offers improved comfort, cosmesis and patient compliance, whilst the modular system allows for an optimal user fit and a reduction in inventory stock levels.  
 
A completely new concept and product to the market, the Hiptric™ is backed by a clinical trial and research by Ossur, and is proven to deliver excellent security, compliance and efficiency.

 

Hyperextension Orthosis
The new 28R140 Dorso Arexa hyperextension orthosis from Otto Bock combines ultimate functionality with a progressive, sporty design.  
Offering a load-relieving and stabilising effect for your lumbar spine and lower thoracic spine, it features custom adjustment options, a high level of wearer comfort and an innovative design.  
 
With only one size required the orthosis covers a fitting spectrum for waist circumferences of up to 150 centimetres. This is made possible by the extension elements which you can attach using a simple click system.  
Auto-adaptive supports and soft, skin-friendly pads make the orthosis especially comfortable to wear.  
 
Another benefit: thanks to centrally attached easy-to-use ratchet locks, the orthosis is easy to apply and remove. It is also water-resistant, which means it can be worn with no restrictions in the shower or during water therapy. 
Dorso Arexa - the new standard for stabilisation of the spine (Th10 to L2).
