Lightweight
A light shell for all-day wear, compared with a traditional cast.
Biocompatible foam liner
The foam against the skin is ISO 10993 tested.
Photo-cured with RizyCure
The polymer hardens in under 3 minutes under the RizyCure blue-light system.
About 5 minutes, start to finish
Total application is about 5 minutes, versus about 60 minutes for a traditional cast.
Zipper on, zipper off
Application and removal use a zipper. There is no cast saw.
Windows for skin inspection
Window sections let you look at the skin without removing the cast.
Latex-free
The liner is latex-free. FlexiOH is an FDA-registered Class I medical device.
Application
Place it. Zip it. Cure it.
Position the fracture while the shell is still soft. Nothing is locked in until you cure it.
01
Place it
The immobilizer goes on soft, so you can set the limb before anything hardens.
02
Zip it
Zip it closed for application. The same zipper is how it comes off. No cast saw.
03
Cure it
The RizyCure blue light hardens the polymer in under 3 minutes. Total application is about 5 minutes.
