A safe and touch-free 30 second 3D body image scan is taken of the patient's limb, and a custom brace is made specifically for the patient's unique injury or condition or lifestyle. Removable (like a splint) or fixed (like a cast), physicians are using ActivArmor for both acute injuries and chronic conditions. The exact fit allows the tissues to remain in the desired position for optimal rest and healing, and observation or treatment of skin, post-surgical hardware and incisions are performed easily. the custom design gives doctors the freedom to immobilize or expose ANY specific area, which in not possible with prefabricated devices.
A Quick Turnaround! – Patients requiring immobilization for acute injuries without swelling, for chronic conditions, and sports support can be scanned immediately, and will receive their ActivArmor device in as little as 2 business days, allowing them to continue with normal lifestyle activities while healing.
Patients with acute injuries and those requiring post-operative immobilization often have edema, and are placed into a temporary compression splint or bi-valved cast for a few days until their follow-up appointment. Once the swelling has gone down, the patient can then be scanned and returned to their temporary solution until their ActivArmor device comes. ActivArmor allows patients to return to more normal lifestyle activities from the post-edema phase of healing through the typical post-cast splinting phase.
NOTE: Some Physician's specialize in upper body OR lower body extremities - and may not /prescribe for limbs and/or injuries that are outside of their specialization. Check with ActivArmor Canada for recommendations.

"Activarmor casts and braces are an amazing breakthrough in healthcare technology that can affect so many people!The casts are light, airy and breathable allowing less bacterial colonization of the skin. You can monitor surgical incision sites for healing or open wounds. You can apply bone stimulators to the skin to heal underlying fractures faster. And best of all, the high end ABS plastic used in the casts make them recyclable! Finally a solution to fracture immobilization that diverts used casts from landfills; just throw the used cast into your blue bin!! Such a simple and elegant idea with a huge reach"

Newly developed by ActivArmor is the Weight bearing custom fit Ankle Foot Orthoses, designed with a traction support heel to help with your stability.
The design is such that foot weight is well distributed through the lower plate - disbursing pressure points and alleviating the potential pain and discomfort of non-custom devices.
And along with that, imagine waking up and making your way to the shower without having to wrap your foot in a plastic bag! And still quickly removable!
Developed and tested in collaboration with the amazing hand therapy staff at Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute, our new functional thumb support splints stabilize the basal joint of the thumb and place the thumb in a functional position, for optimal hand function and reducing pain and loss of strength.

Cost of ActivArmor to the Patient
The cost to a patient may be very similar to custom 3D splints which you may already be prescribing. But the advantages of the ActivArmor device are such that patients can typically see the value of any additional billing, and are willing to accept an upcharge for the many benefits of this solution. ActivArmor MSRP available here.
NOTE: ActivArmor is an approved Class 1 medical device that is fully or partially covered by many of the available private insurance plans in Canada, including WCB!

Using the TechMed3D BodyScan Scanner, a provider is conducting a typical forearm scan for a patient. This scan provides a precision detailed image of the limb, which allows our prothesis designer to create a one of a kind cast/splint custom fitted to a 0.5mm tolerance.
In this video, a provider, using a specially designed footboard, and the TechMed BodyScan Scanner, is obtaining a precision image of the ankle foot region of a patient. This will allow the creation of a form fitted ankle/foot lower leg cast/splint (non-weight bearing).
Now available! The newly created ActivArmor App for scanning of forearms/wrists/hands, using an iPhone! (10 or newer). Scan can be conducted by physician or assistant (prescription for ActivArmor Cast/Splint with design specific requirements must be issued).
