BraceTrace: Easy, Efficient Fabrication Digital System

Bracemasters LLC introduces BraceTrace^TM, a new digital data acquisition system used in fabricating traditional metal and leather orthoses. All that is required is a simple series of digital photos from the same camera already in use in most practices, taken with the patient in place on the BraceTrace scaling device.

Bracemasters produces high-quality metal AFOs, KAFOs, and HKAFOs using BraceTrace with far greater accuracy and less guesswork than fabrication from traditional tracings. Digital tracing allows corrections to be made to anatomical alignment, plus accurate calculation of measurements.

Easy on practitioners and patients, BraceTrace can be used in the office, hospital, or nursing home.
