Teatime Talks – Using Additive Technology in Orthotics

#TeaTimeTalk: Using additive technology in orthotics
Crispin Orthotics has extensive experience in the design and manufacture of Additive Orthoses and, as a consequence now has the most comprehensive portfolio of 3D printed Orthotic products worldwide. This session will outline how the company has developed this technology and how it is being used to provide truly unique and innovative Orthotic solutions for patients. This will hopefully encourage those clinicians who do not have access to additive manufacture, to see how it can be beneficial for their own patient cohorts and look at ways they may be able to integrate this into their own clinical practice.
