How to Go Plaster-Free in Your O&P Workshop

Going plaster-free doesn't mean relearning your profession. Discover step-by-step how to replace plaster casts and surform files with 3D scanning and CAD, from the check socket to the definitive prosthesis.

3D-Printed Check Sockets vs. Traditional:
What CPOs Need to Know

A clinical comparison of 3D-printed and traditional plaster check sockets: fabrication time, fit accuracy, materials, costs, and the transition to the definitive socket.

Which scanners work with VYTRUVE?

We take a look at the scanners best suited for VYTRUVE, and the key criteria to choose the right one.

And what about smartphones: quality, limitations—can they realistically be used to make a prosthesis?

Triangularisation and rectification

Triangularisation helps define three weight-bearing areas to prevent rotation in the case of a very round residual limb and distal suspension.
We show you how to apply it in a step-by-step video.

Scan comparison

Recently updated, this feature lets you compare two scans, either on skin or over a liner.
It’s very useful for objectively assessing a socket replacement, or for providing helpful insights to the clinical team.
