Why Our 3D Printed Orthotics Improve Patient Outcomes
For the past five decades, KLM Laboratories has been a leader in the foot orthotic industry, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible. As pioneers in foot health, we've always sought new ways to enhance the patient experience and deliver the best possible results. Today, that commitment has led us to the cutting edge of 3D printing technology. This isn't just an advancement in manufacturing; it's a fundamental shift in how we approach care, enabling us to create custom orthotics with unprecedented precision.
Unmatched Precision for a Perfect Fit
Traditional methods, while effective, have limitations in capturing the minute details of a patient's foot. Our 3D printing process starts with a precise digital scan, translating every contour and pressure point into a digital model. This level of data allows us to control the shell thickness down to the half-millimeter, ensuring that our custom orthotics are a perfect, supportive extension of the foot.
Enhanced Comfort and Durability
The materials we use for 3D printing are specifically chosen for their unique blend of flexibility and rigidity. This allows us to fine-tune the support, creating a device that is incredibly durable for daily wear and athletic activities. The result is a lighter, slimmer, and more comfortable orthotic. Our 3D printed custom orthotics are engineered to last, providing resilient, long-term support without compromise.
Reducing Costs for Both Practitioners and Patients
The digital workflow of 3D printing significantly reduces production time, and this efficiency allows us to provide high-quality, custom devices more affordably than ever before. We can produce multiple orthotics at once, streamlining our process and helping clinics reduce their own costs and lead times. This efficiency, in turn, makes high-quality custom care more accessible and cost-effective for the patient.
A Streamlined Path to Better Patient Outcomes
By combining a precise digital scan, advanced materials, and a simplified workflow, our 3D printed custom orthotics are leading to better patient outcomes. Patients experience faster turnaround times and a more accurate fit, which leads to immediate comfort and quicker relief from pain. The advanced design also promotes better foot function and alignment, correcting underlying issues for long-term health.
The future of orthotic care is digital, and KLM Laboratories is proud to be at the forefront of this revolution. Our commitment to innovation and quality means that every pair of custom orthotics we produce is designed to provide maximum relief and performance. We believe that this technology not only elevates our products but also empowers practitioners and improves the lives of patients worldwide.
