ALS is a debilitating neurological disorder that affects muscle function, eventually robbing patients of mobility, even basic functions like breathing.
Traditional neck braces, often the only option, can cause discomfort. We've innovated a tailored solution: starting with a patient interview, we utilize 3D scans to design custom-fit braces, ensuring optimal support and preserving function.
Through 3D printing, we blend durability and flexibility, complemented by memory foam for comfort. Beyond a product, it's our vow to elevate the lives of ALS sufferers.
For ALS patients, traditional neck braces aren’t ideal, often causing discomfort. Addressing this, our design harnesses 3D scanning for precise, custom-fit braces. This ensures support and maintains mobility.
Our use of 3D printing picks materials that are both sturdy and flexible. Inside, memory foam ensures comfort. This isn't just a product; it's our pledge to improve the lives of ALS patients through innovative and empathetic design.
