Lab Standard Methods

Standard Orthotic Lab Methods for Frame Fabrication and Foot Model Data Storage

If plaster slipper cast, impression foam cast or STS slipper socks foot impression method is used, the foot model data storage can be selected per order.

• Store plaster positive mold for 3 months (lab standard): 
  If requested, the storage of plaster positive molds will be held for 3 months if modifications or additional pairs are needed.
• Digitize my impression:
  Kevin Orthopedic will use a 3D method to create a digital positive model which are stored indefinitely and can be
  recalled for fabricating consistent orthotics.
  Note on Digitizing Positive Models: If a positive plaster model is digitized, Kevin Orthopedic cannot guarantee replicating the exact and intimate contours that were vacuum formed over the positive plaster model previously.
  Note on Digitizing Deep Heel Cups and Flanges: For very deep heel cups, medial and lateral flanges, such as UCBL devices, digitizing impressions or using digital fabrication methods are not recommended.
• Return positive model:
  Positive models can also be returned with the orthotic devices and patients can be responsible for storage if future pairs or modifications are needed.
