3D Printed Splints Offer Support for Brachial Plexus Injury

[Brian_Krassenstein]

For those suffering from damage to their brachial plexus, the impact on their lives can often be difficult, and if not treated correctly could lead to further injury. After a mountain biking accident back in 2011, 26-year-old Tom Wheeler suffered damage to his brachial plexus that left his arm weak and in need of a support splint. Thanks to a three-way collaboration between Wheeler, specialist physiotherapist Marc Lloyd and surgical design expert Dominic Eggbeer they have designed a type of splint made specifically to help offer specialized and customized support for those suffering with a brachial plexus injury. They are also testing the splint on a wide range of patients and injuries, including all kinds of sports injuries including broken and fractured bone and stroke victims who may have lost some of their fine motor control.

So I am interested in a custom printed thumb splint. I am capable of making an actual hand model but have no ability to scan my hand at this time. Anyone available here in Miami?
