Printed orthoses for injured fingers

Dear Sir or Madam,

Fingers are our most important tools in everyday life. This is why finger injuries quite quickly incapacitate or at least severely restrict us for a long time. Good, early rehabilitation is all the more important. The start-up 3Digity thus has developed an individually adaptable finger orthosis from the 3D printer. It helps in the early mobilization of injured finger joints. Learn more about it in our current interview.

Stay fit!

Topic of the Month

Disinfection and sterilization are the most reliable and best way to ensure patient safety in healthcare settings. Whether it is at the point of care when the patient is either at the hospital or medical practice, or wherever medical devices are manufactured and packaged in a sterile environment – the transmission of pathogens and microorganisms via contaminated surfaces, objects, or hands can have severe health impacts.
