New Generation of Splint Designs from Exos

Filed under: Orthopedic Surgery


When it comes to broken bones and torn cartilages, today's orthopedic splints and casts are full of disadvantages that Exos Corporation is trying to overcome with its product line. Waterproof, breathable, and adjustable, Exos braces should be perfect for dedicated athletes and active people that don't want to be held back by an injury. Couple that with an attractive look that's not begging for a friend's autograph, and you're good to go out in style with your compound fracture.

The technology consists of three layers of high tech polymers and foam that when laminated together create a lightweight matrix with features that have multiple benefits for practitioners and their patients. Exos products feature easy to use, clean, waterless application that do not require water, stockinette or cotton padding for application. They are simple to remove and do not necessitate the use of messy, loud, often disturbing cast saws. Exos products provide excellent stabilization with superior comfort for greater patient compliance.

Last Winter I broke my thumb and tore a ligament. At one cross-country ski race I met Dr. Bovard, and he got me into an Exos cast. It worked perfectly ...protected my injury and yet allowed me to compete the entire American Birkebeiner 54k cross-country ski marathon. Here's my story .. http://www.northstarnerd.org/econtent/2009/02/a-skier-cooks-his-cast.html
