KANOprint | Direct Forming System​

 

The KANOprintTM platform is an on-the-spot custom corrective thermoforming system.

 

The KANOprintTM  Direct Forming Station allows the creation of custom total contact orthotics and makes use of same Soldered Layering Technology (SLT)TM  used in our lab but also provides the benefit of taking an impression in  subtalar neutral position while simultaneously accounting for soft tissue expansion which is not possible with plaster or digital casting methods.  The KANOformTM thermoplastic resin allows thermoforming at a lower temperature which when used with the KANOprintTM Direct Forming Station allows the orthotic to be formed directly to the patients foot in corrected positioning while simultaneously accounting for soft tissue expansion thus ensuring a device which is not only therapeutic but comfortable and perfectly tolerated.

 

This system allows the creation of neutral and corrected non-weight bearing custom orthotic devices while the patient is in the office thus removing the need for casting and follow-up dispensing appointments.

 

KANOprintTM is a platform equipped with two high-resistance silicone casting bladders allowing the creation the orthosis in the corrected or neutral position directly on the foot of the patient.

 

It is possible to obtain a plaster or polyurethane resin positive mold as well. The bladders are filled with micro-spheres for a more defined negative impression and to directly create a discharge area. It is also equipped with grip bars for patient assistance.
