Structured Light Scanner New to The OMEGA System

Computer-assisted design (CAD) is here to stay in the orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) industry. The time savings, successful patient outcomes, and cost savings have allowed what was once a fledgling technology to gain a growing foothold in the world of orthotics and prosthetics. Since 2001, the user base of the OMEGA® System has increased almost 500 percent. This increase reflects clinician use domestically as well as in Europe. As usage has increased, the demand for ever improving shape capture tools and software has risen as well. Powerful New 3D Scanner The initial OMEGA Scanner brought a new level of accuracy to the O&P industry when released in 2006 by using lasers and simple reflectors to capture shapes. In response to customer feedback, the scanner has been revamped and is lighter, smaller, and able to scan with a minimal need for reflectors. The new OMEGA Scanner 3D meets all these needs and maintains the accuracy of +/- 0.5mm over the entire surface area. The scanner weighs only 850g (1.9 lb.) and comes with a carrying case for easy portability. While its predecessor used lasers for shape capture, the OMEGA Scanner 3D uses structured light to create a 3D image. When the light hits an object the pattern deforms and is then measured by the scanner, which quickly generates the object's shape directly in the OMEGA software. OMEGA Software Powerhouse Since its inception, OMEGA software was designed with the orthotic and prosthetic professional in mind rather than engineers or programmers. The system uses familiar clinical terms and tools for adjusting and manipulating patient shapes captured by the scanner or created by measurements. With the OMEGA software, clinicians can manipulate shapes for cranial and spinal orthoses; insoles; AFOs; prosthetic sockets and custom liners for patients with transtibial, transfemoral, and upper-limb amputations; and custom breast prostheses. Clinicians who are adept with the software have even created shape files for face masks, knee braces, and more. OMEGA software is also a valuable tool for patient medical records. The software allows for tracking patient progress and clinical analysis over time by using the Dual Model View Tool. Orthometry forms are also incorporated into the software and may be printed or emailed. WillowWood conducts several training courses at our facility as well as webinars ranging from introductory to advanced content.
