The 3D Advantage

Scan-to-Print Precision

Our digital workflow begins with high-resolution biometric scanning, capturing your exact spinal curvature to create a digital twin for flawless 3D fabrication.

Breathable Lattice Structure

Unlike solid traditional braces, our 3D-printed solutions feature a clinical-grade lattice that promotes airflow and reduces weight without compromising spinal stability.

The Patient Journey

Digital Scan

We start with a high-resolution 3D bio-scan of your torso, capturing precise anatomical data without the need for traditional plaster casting.

01

CAD Design

Our engineers convert your scan into a clinical-grade digital model, customizing the biomechanical support zones for your specific curve correction.

02

Precision Print

Advanced additive manufacturing brings the design to life, producing a lightweight, breathable TLSO brace ready for clinical fitting and delivery.

03

Successful Outcomes

Adolescent Kyphosis Correction

Achieved a 45% reduction in spinal curvature over 12 months using our custom bio-resin TLSO, providing the patient with restored mobility and significant pain relief.

Early-Onset Treatment Success

Precision biometric scanning allowed for a perfectly fitted orthotic that halted progression in a pediatric patient, ensuring growth-friendly spinal support.

Understanding Scoliosis & 3D Orthotics

How does 3D printing improve scoliosis treatment?

Standard orthotics often struggle with anatomical variations. Vertix Spinal Labs uses high-resolution biometric scanning and additive manufacturing to ensure every brace provides millimetric spinal correlation for optimal corrective force and maximum patient compliance.

Is a 3D-printed brace more comfortable than a traditional one?

Yes. Our braces are engineered to be significantly thinner and more breathable. By using advanced polymers and lattice structures, we can reduce bulk without sacrificing clinical rigidity, allowing for better airflow and discrete wear under clothing.

What is the clinical precision process at Vertix?

The process starts with a precise 3D scan of the spine. Our engineers then develop a custom CAD model tailored to the clinical requirements before printing the final TLSO. This digital workflow eliminates the inaccuracies common in traditional plaster casting.

How do I start the scanning process?

We offer both in-clinic scanning and mobile scanning options. Once a scan is performed, we can produce your custom spinal solution with accelerated lead times compared to conventional orthotic fabrication methods.
