Cryos Technologies Unveils Next-Generation 3D Foot Scanner

CryoScan3D solves key foot scanning challenges to bring the benefits of 3D digital imaging to podiatry clinics

Montreal, Canada – May 26, 2016 – Cryos Technologies Inc., a provider of advanced dynamic orthotics, today announced a new 3D foot scanning system for podiatrists. Premiered this morning at the FIP World Congress of Podiatry in Montreal, the CryoScan3D quickly captures high-resolution, full-color 3D models of the foot in a range of positions to enable the creation of dynamic orthotics.

Digital capture of patient foot data removes the need for messy plaster casts or foam boxes, and provides a scalable and faster solution for podiatrists to grow their business.

Built using Fuel3D scanning technology, the CryoScan3D delivers high-level precision, with a scan accurate to 250 microns (0.25mm). It captures 3D data and color in less than 0.1 seconds, meaning that patient movement cannot distort the scan.

To date, 3D foot scanning technologies have suffered issues with scan quality and distortion caused by patients moving during the scanning process. This can cause scans to become blurry or wavy, and has resulted in many podiatrists being hesitant to adopt foot scanning systems.

With a compact design (38.5 x 68.5 cm / 15 x 27 inches) that ensures it can fit in any clinic, the CryoScan3D is highly versatile, providing podiatrists with the ability to scan the foot in full-, semi- and non-weight bearing positions. And, with no moving parts, the scanner offers greater reliability than other scanning systems.

“The CryoScan3D is a real game-changer for podiatry and will allow us to offer Cryos dynamic orthotics to even more clinics across North America,” said John Stimpson, President, Cryos Technologies. “3D scanning allows you to capture patient data anywhere and transmit it electronically. With this new system in place, what you scan is exactly what you will get from a Cryos orthotic – a fully customized device, rather than the closest match from a template library.”

In collaboration with the CryoVizion postural condition assessment system, the CryoScan3D provides podiatrists with a complete solution for assessing, capturing and creating custom orthotics. Cryos dynamic orthotics guide the foot to its proper movement without immobilizing it, by preserving and stimulating foot strength, flexibility and mobility while being corrected.

Clinics or orthotics companies who wish to use the CryoScan3D as a standalone product can also contact the company for information about the system, which will be commercially available in September.
