Overview
At MedPotter Labs, our orthotic services are designed to aid in the healing and support of various body parts, especially following sports-related injuries to ligaments, joints, or bones. Our orthoses offer crucial support in cases where injuries are slow to heal, aiding in alleviating discomfort by stabilizing the affected area. They play a pivotal role in compensating for lost functions and are instrumental in preventing further damage due to incorrect posture or alignment, thus minimizing wear on impacted body parts.
Our extensive range of orthoses caters to a variety of medical conditions and body parts. The effectiveness of an orthosis is deeply tied to its custom fit. The appropriate size and fit are determined by the treating physician or orthopedic technician. MedPotter Labs' orthoses are renowned for their superior functionality. Throughout the development of our models, we emphasize wearer comfort, ensuring that our orthoses not only provide relief but also aid in the recovery process.
We at MedPotter believe that an orthosis should embody functionality, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Whether an orthosis is a temporary aid during healing or a permanent solution, our designs ensure that you can wear them with confidence. Our products stand out for enhancing quality of life through a perfect blend of functionality, comfort, and style. Our orthopedic technicians are always available to provide expert advice and guidance.
Furthermore, MedPotter Labs is pioneering the use of 3D printing and scanning technologies to create orthoses that are not only tailor-made but also robust. This advanced approach allows us to produce orthotic devices that perfectly conform to the individual contours of each patient, offering an unprecedented level of personalized care and effectiveness.
Ankle and Foot Orthosis
For individuals experiencing instability or misalignment in the foot and ankle due to nerve damage, neurological conditions, or alignment issues, MedPotter Labs offers a range of foot and ankle bracing solutions. These braces, varying from simple rigid structures for sprains to customized options for more complex conditions like stroke or cerebral palsy, are designed to stabilize, improve gait, and maintain mobility.
- Supra-malleolar Orthosis (SMO):
The SMO is a specific type of orthosis that supports the ankle area just above the malleolus (the bony prominence on each side of the ankle). It is especially useful for patients who need support for the ankle but do not require the full support provided by an AFO. The SMO can help stabilize the ankle and correct issues such as overpronation or flat feet.
- Diabetic Shoes & Inserts
For diabetic foot complications, we offer specialized shoes and cushioning inserts as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes regular foot monitoring and healthy lifestyle adjustments.
- Customised Foot Orthosis
Custom shoe orthotics are available to address foot pain and related discomfort in other body parts, providing relief and improved function.These services at MedPotter Labs are focused on providing effective support and enhancing the quality of life for those with foot and ankle challenges.
Knee
The knee, being a complex joint involving various ligaments and muscles, is prone to a range of injuries. To address these, orthotic interventions like bracing are commonly utilized, especially for conditions such as Osteoarthritis, ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament), MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament), PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries, meniscus damage, and various sprains and strains.
- Types of Knee Bracing
MedPotter Labs offers an array of knee braces, each designed to cater to different knee issues. Selecting the most suitable brace can be daunting, but our orthotists are here to guide you through this process. We provide specialized braces including those for osteoarthritis and offloading knee braces, tailored to your specific needs and conditions. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective support for your knee, aiding in recovery and mobility enhancement.
We also provide Knee Ankle Foot Orthoses (KAFOs), which are expertly designed to support and align the knee, foot, and ankle joints. These orthoses play a crucial role in assisting with muscle weakness and joint instability, ensuring stability and proper joint function. They are also essential in safeguarding the lower limb, particularly beneficial for patients requiring additional support in these areas. Our KAFOs are customized to each patient's unique needs, providing not only structural support but also aiding in overall mobility and limb protection.
Offloading Knee Brace and Gaiter
Hip Orthoses Solutions
MedPotter Labs offers solutions for various hip disorders that impact the hip joint, affecting thigh movement and the ability to bear body weight.
Our hip orthoses consist of a hip/pelvic girdle, thigh cuff, and an adjustable hip joint, allowing for some movement. These components work together to correctly position the femur in the hip socket, facilitating the healing of ligaments, bone, and muscles.
Working in partnership with orthopedic surgeons, our orthotists will select and fit the most suitable hip brace for your condition, ensuring effective support and recovery.
Spine
At MedPotter Labs, we provide specialized spinal orthoses services tailored to address various spine-related issues.
Spinal Orthoses Uses:
- Realigning the Spine:
Our spinal orthoses are designed to correct spinal misalignments that can lead to pain, weakness, or paralysis. They support and realign the spine, contributing to the healing process and managing conditions like osteoarthritis, while preserving muscular and sensory functions.
- Immobilizing the Spine:
In cases of spinal injuries or damage, immobilization is crucial. Our orthoses restrict spine movement, fostering fracture healing, halting disease progression or deformity, and offering overall spinal support.
- Supporting Weakened Spinal Areas:
To enhance stability during recovery, our orthotic devices are snugly fitted, providing robust support to the torso and pelvis. They often include rigid elements that replicate the function of damaged bones and ligaments.
