premium materials

Base Block

Our EVA is routinely tested to ensure a consistent density and an optimal compression set of 5%.

We direct CNC mill our block. No destructive heating occurs at any point.

Our EVA has extremely low filler % resulting in a longer lasting, more consistent product. We also manufacture PA12 nylon powder laser printed rigid devices.

Mid Layers

OBD offers porons of various thickness to increase device cushioning. This helps with various shoe fits.

 

 We can also apply an optional polyurethane mid layer for clinicians that prefer easily removable top covers.

Top Covers

OBD offers premium top covers with varying colours, thicknesses and densities in: EVA, neoprene, microfibre, leather, vinyl and cashmere. We employ strict quality assurance measures to produce consistently great final products

laser scanning

Orthotics By Design can supply you with an industry leading Envisic Laser Bed Scanner. We Believe this is one of the only scanners that will comply with the upcoming changes in TGA regulation.

Colour Scanning

A full colour laser scan is produced. This allows us to identify marks directly on the patients foot for alignment, dell locations, planter tendons.

10 Second Scans

A full laser scan is completed in less than 10 seconds. The ease of operation leaves you more time in the consult with patients.

Software Integration

The scanner is fully integrated with OBD’s software package and connects seamlessly via USB. It has an integrated battery and can connect to a laptop for mobile podiatrists.

1:1 Patient Matched

Our laser scanners are 1:1 patient matched. There is no scaling or mesh manipulation required. This gives a true scan for more reliable results.

TGA Future Proofed

Changes are coming to the the TGA regulation of patient matched orthotic devices. Using an OBD scanner positions you best to comply with the future changes.
