ActivArmor is launching a digital fabrication system that utilizes the latest 3D scanning and printing technologies with an AI-driven design software to provide patient-specific, custom-fitted casts and splints in waterproof, sanitizable plastics, that allow people to live their active lifestyles while healing.
Our
Founder is a chemical engineer that worked in engineering and software for fortune-500 companies, and started running a mentoring program for children in poverty. The kids had domestic violence and substandard living conditions, and often had to wear casts. The fiberglass casts would get wet and filthy – one little girl had bed bugs under hers, and one little boy couldn’t keep his dry in the shower, and wore it wet for 3 weeks causing permanent scarring on his arm. The kids couldn’t even practice basic hygiene like washing their hands for a snack. She 3D printed plastic casts for them out of Legos plastic and told them to ask their doctors if they could use this instead. The doctors were excited, and asked for more, and it became our mission at ActivArmor to provide a sanitizable alternative to traditional casting methods.
Thousands of people in the U.S. must wear a cast or splint for immobilization right now, and tens of thousands worldwide. In fact, the average American needs to wear 2 in their lifetime for up to 4 months, and it’s archaic to expect people not to wash their hands for weeks! We provide the only washable, sanitizable cast on the market that doesn’t spread viruses and gives people their lifestyle freedoms back while they heal… including showering, swimming and sweating. We are contracted with the workers comp provider for the NFL, and available in over 40 hospitals and clinics including St. Luke’s and Children’s Hospital Colorado and have sold over $1M of casts to date.
We are now ready to scale, and are looking for accredited investors right now to help bring casting into the 21st century by launching our new point-of-care 3d printing system, that will allow doctors to design and fabricate custom plastic casts in a few hours for under $100 right in their clinics. Beta tests are already in progress at St. Luke’s Hospital. This design software has been 3 years in development with the top orthopedic surgeons in the country, and thousands of patients healed, including NFL players wearing them on the field right now. ActivArmor is looking for partners as we make sanitary plastic casts a standard-of-care in orthopedics by evolving into a SaaS provider with point-of-care fabrication for a quick and affordable alternative to archaic casting methods.
