Why Patients Love ActivArmor
-
Maximum Comfort
ActivArmor’s open design and waterproof material keep skin healthy by allowing observation of your skin condition and regular bathing practices. ActivArmor can be made to be either easily removable or locked-on as prescribed and adjusts to swelling or atrophy easily.
-
Tested & Certified
ActivArmor has been biocompatibility tested (ISO 10993-5 certified) and is listed with the FDA as a Class 1 splint. Hundreds of patients have been successfully treated with ActivArmor devices since 2017.
-
3D Technology
The ActivArmor process includes a scan, creating a 3D model of your limb designed and completely fitted based on the physician’s specific positioning and instructions for your unique needs. The ActivArmor device is then custom-fabricated for you.
-
High-Quality Material
Unlike traditional cast and immobilization methods, ActivArmor’s 3D printing uses a high-temperature thermosetting and recyclable ABS plastic.
-
Covered by Insurance
ActivArmor is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and is affordable or even free for patients, depending on your coverage.
-
Hygienic & Sanitizable
Easily wash, shower, bathe and even swim with our waterproof and biocompatible casts to reduce viral transmissions. Athletes specifically appreciate our waterproof wrist cast that allows them to maintain their active lifestyle while healing.
Common Uses for ActivArmor
-
Wrist Cockup Cast
“I use ActivArmor for most of my wrist fracture care, as soon as the swelling goes down... especially with kids and athletes, for the hygienic aspects.”
- R.K. Patel, MD
-
Thumb Spica Cast
“ActivArmor is ideal for scaphoid fractures, because the patients have to be in them for so long. Sometimes 12 weeks or more. That’s a long time in a cast. ActivArmor lets them continue their normal activities. They love it.”
- Randy Gomez, P.A.
-
Wrist Splint (with or without thumb spica)
“ActivArmor splints are great for my therapy patients because they can do their normal activities like washing, so they wear it more. And improved compliance means less pain and faster healing.”
- Samuel Jones, Certified Hand Therapist
-
Ulnar/Radial Gutter Cast
“Gutter casts often end up like a club on your arm—you’re pretty much useless with it on. ActivArmor is totally custom. It only Immobilizes the joints you need. It gives my players a lot more freedom of mobility while they heal.”
- Jack Marshall, Certified Athletic Trainer
-
Elbow or Long-Arm Casts
“ActivArmor long-arm casts convert into short-arm casts when you’re ready. This saves us time and our patients money. Plus, it’s so much easier to shower!”
- Stan Bartlay, MD
-
Hand-Based
“ActivArmor hand-based splints are so much less cumbersome than traditional hand-based splints because they’re custom designed to the patient. One of my patients has been wearing them on both hands for years, and he still loves them.”
- Joanna Scheffield, Certified Hand Therapist
-
Hand-based Functional Splints
“We do a lot of ActivArmor functional splints here because they’re comfortable and custom fit. They relieve patients’ pain and are washable, so they can wear them all day.”
- Josh Blaney, Certified Hand Therapist
-
Ankle/Foot Cast—Non-weight-bearing, Charcot Foot
“I recommend ActivArmor for all of my non-weight-bearing injuries because of the hygienic aspects and improved compliance. Patients are more comfortable in them, and we can observe and treat their skin while they’re wearing it. You can’t do that with traditional casts.”
- Lance Stanfield, DPM
-
Ankle/Foot Walking Boot
“ActivArmor has become the standard of care for Charcot Foot here, because we can see and treat the patient’s skin condition, and the patients can practice daily hygiene while staying immobilized. We can custom-design for offloading ulcers. This is a game-changer for diabetic foot treatment.”
- Richard Cortez, DPM
ActivArmor Success Stories
“[With ActivArmor] I don’t have to worry about hurting his arm further. I don’t have to worry about not getting it clean. And he loved it. And he was so proud and he was showing everybody his red “Spiderman arm.””
