Spinal Solutions Launches “VertiLok”

Spinal Solutions introduces the first, rigid spinal support system designed to maximize patient compliance while allowing the practitioner the flexibility to provide an intimate fit.

The VertiLok features a two-stage closure procedure that allows the patient to don the orthosis without assistance. By securing the built in corset first, which is attached to the posterior panel, immediate abdominal compression is achieved, and the patient is able to secure the anterior panel without assistance. In the later stages of recovery, the patient can be weaned off the rigid anterior panel.

The VertiLok is made of a lightweight, breathable, and washable material. The orthotic device is MRI compatible. Removable anterior/ posterior (lined with 3/16" aliplast), and lateral panel inserts come in a wide variety of configurations that are heat moldable. The three-point closure system produces uniform, abdominal compression with just two straps, which attach to the anterior panel and have large D rings for better grasping.

The LSO version is easily converted to a TLSO by adding the optional Posterior Thoracic Extension (PTE) and the Sternal Pad Kit (SPK). Dorsal Strap Kit (DSK), Hip Spika Attachment (HSA), and Inflatable Lumbar Chamber (ILC) are also available.

Acor’s Best Defense – SOLE DEFENSE

After 2 years of research and development, Acor introduces a major enhancement to its comfort footwear line. The entire line of Acor footwear is now fully lined with a unique silver fiber called X-STATIC^TM.

X-STATIC provides the following benefits to the foot:

• Eliminates 99.9% of bacterial and fungal growth in the shoe within 2 hours
• Binds with ammonia and denatured proteins (the causes of foot odor) to naturally reduce odor
• Since silver conducts heat and friction, hot spots and blisters are dramatically reduced

The entire line of Acor footwear has been renamed SOLE DEFENSE Footwear®. The individual names of each shoe (Broadway, RiverWalk, Comfort Street, Spring Street, and Activz) will remain the same.

PRS Offers Economic Choices!

Prosthetics Research Specialists Inc. introduces E-R Resin, a new type of two-part Epoxy blended resin. E-R Resin works just as well under water as it does with no moisture present. This means no more fuzzy laminations due to wet casts or PVA bags that were not dried properly.

E-R Resin is heat adjustable so you can make future adjustments. Per ASTM Standards, at independent lab testing, it was by far the strongest of the four popular resins we tested. Best of all, E-R Resin works out to be the most economical, and offers a 14-minute working time.

Hold Tight with ClickLock / Breg Products Available Through Cascade

The original gold standard attachment kits from ProAdvantage® just got better with ClickLock^TM--an audible locking mechanism that enhances patient safety and security.

Fully tested, the new ratchet mechanism was subjected to a pulling force strong enough to cause the suspension liner to detach from the patient's limb, yet the ratchet mechanism held. The ClickLock features a positive one-way clutch offering maximum safety from loss of suspension due to clutch gear reversal or slippage. Even if the clutch fails, the ratchet can suspend loads in excess of 300 pounds.

ClickLock comes standard in all 600 and 650 series kits (replacing the ProAdvantage 500 and 550 kits). The ClickLock cartridge is retrofittable into ProAdvantage 500 series attachment kits and many other similar kits including AlpsLocks and SPS 500 kits. The cartridge is available separately.
