Our Orthotics Dept is working with Steeper Group to improve the services we deliver to patients at RNOH.
An important part of being a more responsive and forward-thinking service is using emerging technology. New developments in robotics combined with computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are leading to a transformation in the design and manufacture of bespoke orthoses for RNOH patients.
RNOH Orthotics service has embarked on a transformative journey, propelled by an innovative partnership with Steeper Group and Qwadra, the global leader in CAD/CAM solutions for the orthotics and prosthetics industry. This partnership combines unparalleled expertise and cutting-edge technology with a shared commitment to excellence and promises to redefine orthopaedic care standards for our patients.
By investing in a Victor Robot and multiple Canfit licenses, the Ortthotics Dept. aim to streamline the departmental workflow, ushering in an era of enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and productivity that will deliver huge patient benefits such as reduced wait times for prosthetic and orthotic devices. With the implementation of digital workflows, RNOH can expedite the manufacturing process, ensuring prompt delivery of custom-made solutions tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Moreover, the integration of advanced CAD/CAM solutions empowers orthopaedic specialists to achieve unprecedented levels of precision. Through intricate digital modelling and precise measurements, clinicians can create prosthetic and orthotic devices that fit seamlessly, offering patients unparalleled comfort and functionality.
Beyond the tangible benefits of efficiency and accuracy, the further development in digital technologies strengthens the culture of innovation within RNOH. Clinicians and researchers alike are inspired to push the boundaries of orthopaedic science, exploring new frontiers in prosthetic and orthotic design.
