Fracture Casts FAQ

General Questions

Orth2Go is a medical 3D solution that provides custom 3D-printed fracture casts designed to replace traditional plaster or fiberglass casts.

What is a 3D-printed fracture cast?

It is a lightweight, breathable, and waterproof orthopedic cast that is digitally designed and 3D printed to perfectly fit the patient’s injured limb.

How is it different from a traditional cast?

Compared to traditional casts, Orth2Go casts are:

Lighter and more comfortable
Ventilated (less itchy and sweaty)
Waterproof
Custom-fit for better support

Procedure & Scanning

How does the scanning process work?

A specialist uses a handheld 3D scanner to capture the exact shape of the injured limb. The scan is then used to digitally design the custom cast.

Is the scanning process painful? What should a patient expect during the scanning procedure?

No. The scanning process is non-contact, safe, and completely painless. Patients may notice bright blinking lights during scanning; if you are sensitive to light, you may simply close your eyes or wear a sleep eye mask for comfort.

How long does scanning take?

The scanning usually takes 5 to 10 minutes depending on the injury and patient condition.

Production & Delivery

How long before I receive my cast?

The cast is typically produced and delivered within 7 days after scanning, depending on the case and schedule.

Where is the cast installed?

The cast is installed at the partner clinic or hospital by a trained professional.
