Improve O&P Efficiency with the latest in Mobile Prosthetic Scanning
The Comb App brings the latest in prosthetic scanning technology to your iPhone X or newer. The scanning app was designed to give clinicians the ability to create accurate scans of their patients for downloading and sending an .obj or .stl file to modification or fabrication. Whether you are completely new to 3D scanning or you’ve used other devices in the past, the intuitive design and step by step tutorial makes the ease of scanning available to the entire orthotics and prosthetics industry.
Efficiency
The scanner is accurate and easy to use. This result was validated on TLSO, BK, FO, Knee Braces, AFO, and KAFO as well as Arm models. The scanner can reduce the time and money typically spent molding and shipping models for fabrication.
Scanning results are highly repeatable. For best practice, the recommended distance is to capture the patient 6-10” from the shape. At these distances, accuracy results are consistent. Because you can scan closer to your patient, you can more simply sit on a clinician’s stool, or stand, to scan your patient. No more scanning and molding from the ground on your knees or standing on a chair to create a large scan box.
Tips on improving accuracy and precision of scanner:
Use tracking dots or colored stickers to precisely mark anatomical areas of interest. This makes it easier to read measurements from your existing rectification or measurement software.
Fabrication Process
Scanning with the Comb App allows the user to easily export their capture as either an .obj or .stl file. Then, download into a design software or email to fabrication. Traditional casting procedures, while common in the industry, can be eliminated by making the leap to 3D scanning. Regardless of an individual's experience with scanners, the Comb App was designed by O&P professionals for O&P professionals.
