Shining 3D has launched EinScan Medixa, an all-in-one, wireless 3D scanner designed for orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) applications. By integrating scanning, onboard processing, and data export, EinScan Medixa streamlines orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) workflows.

EinScan Medixa introduces a digital, contact-free workflow that reduces case time from 5 hours to 1 hour while improving accuracy and patient experience. Its movement compensation technology ensures precise data capture even with slight patient movements. This can make it optimal for sensitive applications such as infant cranial helmets or torso scanning, the company reports.

EinScan Medixa integrates scanning, processing, and data output into a single portable device. Clinicians will not need external computers, simplifying the workflow from patient scanning to CAD/CAM design and milling. The intuitive software interface provides step-by-step guidance, making it accessible even for clinicians without prior 3D scanning experience.

Other Highlights

  • High-resolution and high-quality 3D data
  • 5MP texture camera for realistic surface capture
  • Pre-set body part workflows: cranial, torso, limbs, feet, sockets, and more
  • Wireless and lightweight design (953g) for portability
  • Movement compensation for accurate scans despite slight patient motion
  • Contact-free scanning using white and infrared light for maximum patient comfort
