Creaform, worldwide developer, manufacturer, and seller of 3D portable measurement technologies, has signed an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement with Otto Bock HealthCare GmbH, a market leader in orthotics and prosthetics based in Germany.

The Creaform HCP 3D scanner will become an integral part of Ottobock’s “3D-Design” system in its patient-care centres as a digital image capture system that will bring faster and more accurate results.

Explains Creaform business development manager Peter Warburton: “Ottobock took the time to thoroughly test and benchmark our HCP scanner against the other scanners in the market, and chose the HCP as the best technology to go forward with their solution.”

Adds Ottobock’s product manager for CADCAM Products Fabian Thön: “Creaform’s technology fits perfectly in Ottobock’s patient care center model. The combination of Creaform’s innovative 3D scanning solutions with Ottobock’s high-quality and technologically outstanding medical technology products and services for orthotics and prosthetics are expected to contribute significantly to restoring mobility to people with disabilities.”

The HCP 3D scanner provides non-contact, non-invasive 3D scanning of limbs with minimal patient discomfort. Short scanning sessions help to ensure short consultation times, minimal waiting time for patients, and a higher number of patients that can be treated on any given day.
