For more than 20 years, podiatrists and allied foot-healthcare specialists have sought an accurate, reliable, and cost-effective implementation of modern 3D imaging technology to replace traditional plaster casting techniques for capturing the shape of patients' feet.  Recently, American company Envisic has custom configured it's VeriScan 3D laser imaging technology to meet these needs with the VeriScan Podiatric Scanner. 

Orthomed Worldwide Ltd are very proud to be able to offer this extremely compact and robust system for orthotic production in the UK.

	The VeriScan Podiatric Scanner (VPS) combines two high speed imaging chips and two imaging lasers in a unified, pre-calibrated scanning mechanism that scans the foot in under 3.3 seconds at a better than 1.6 mm resolution.  In this brief scan cycle, more than 30 megabytes of data are captured and transferred to a computer via a USB 2.0 connection. After capture, our software filters and transforms the raw data and creates a fully rotate-able and scalable 3D color image of the plantar surface of the patient's foot in less than 7 seconds on most modern PC's.  This almost instant availability of the full 3D rendering of the captured foot image lets practitioners quickly assess the quality of their positioning and the scan it produced.  This instant review capability means that, when needed, additional scans can be done immediately, without the need for costly patient callbacks after lab processing of a scan has shown it to be inadequate for manufacturing purposes.
	The two camera/two laser design of VPS scan mechanism ws the back of the heel and  the margins of foot to be clearly imaged for virtually all sizes of properly positioned feet.  This superior 3D representation of the foot is an ideal input for the modern CAD/CAM systems used by most of today's larger orthotics manufacturers.  The software also gives practitioners the ability to mark-up and annotate their 3D foot images to show the exact locations where pads, cut-outs, and other modifications are needed. While the VPS was first designed to be used with the patient's foot held in the classic non-weight bearing, sub-talar neutral, lateral-column-loaded/locked position; it works equally well without lateral column loading, and in semi-weight bearing exam situations.  And because the VPS scan head can be quickly and easily moved from stand to floor, floor to stand, stand to stand, and can operate in almost any orientation; it easily supports virtually all common scanning settings.
