# 2021 SAPHTEN |
|
Saphten is an innovative, dynamic, self-adjusting anti-spastic orthosis. It is manufactured through 3D printing using recycled plastics, and allows flexion and extension without having to use a complex mechanism with many parts. This is a major advance on the current dynamic orthoses which are made up of many parts and a wide variety of materials. The patient can wear a Saphten orthosis for longer periods of time, because he can adjust the tension according to their needs, therefore their recovery rate will be improved.
I am a Physiotherapist and Industrial Designer, an unusual combination of disciplines that made me focus on a very specific branch of design; the development of medical devices. I have worked with many patients who suffered from neurological diseases, that experience was what inspired and motivated me to work on these types of products. I try to work through a systematic innovation process, paying special attention to the needs of the patient and in order to fully understand the problem, I seek to generate a value impact on conventional methods and the user experience.more
