In order for us to have the ability to fit you for an Exos® brace, and you are in the emergency room, you need to:

• have a diagnosis of a STABLE fracture from a physician. Not a fracture that requires an operation to fix

• have the TYPE of brace that they are requesting to be fit written on a prescription pad or letterhead so we know which brace to fit you for.

• have a fibreglass or plaster SLAB (a cast on one side of the arm and doesn't encase the whole limb) or a cast that is BIVALVED (cut down on two sides so we can remove it). This is so we can take it off here at the clinic and fit and mold the custom brace for you. We don't have the ability at the clinic to cut a whole cast off.

No. Only hand, wrist, and humeral fractures can be fit for an Exos® brace. Due to the fact that you can remove the brace to dry/clean the area underneath it, the fracture has to be STABLE and NON-OPERATIVE.

See the list of available braces below, along with prices.

Yes! These braces are customizable.

You can choose various colours and patterns to create a personalized look that suits your style.

Once you come to the clinic, with the prescription or letter in hand from the referring physician or nurse practitioner stating which brace you are to be fitted for (see list below), we will measure your arm to give you the appropriate size.

We have a number of these Exos® braces in stock, but if not, we will order it for you and it will come in a couple of days. Once we have it, we heat it up in the special Exos® oven and then mold it to your limb.

If it is loose, you can tighten it using the Boa system, and if there is a pressure point, don't worry, we can reheat and remold it up to five times..

Here are some of the benefits

• Thermoformable - prepared for application using a waterless, dry-heat preparation system.

• Waterproof/washable - can be worn during bathing and swimming, and can be removed to be washed or cleaned

• Antimicrobial tested - reduces the build up of bacteria and odor.

• Reformable/custom fit - molded to the patient to achieve a custom fit that can be molded and remolded up to 5 times as desired, quickly and easily, to achieve the perfect fit.

• Lightweight - significantly lighter than plaster and fiberglass casts.

• Radiolucent - brace does not need to be removed for X-ray imaging.

• Sawless removal - no loud or frightening cast saws are required for the removal.

• BOA® Dynamic Closure System - lace fastening system can be applied in seconds and provides the ultimate in closure control.

• Can be used after casting to support wrist fractures once stable.

• Latex-free.

Additionally, each brace has a BOA system adjusting knob on it. This is a button knob that allows the tightness and tension around the arm to be adjusted to allow for the best possible fit, to allow it to be temporarily removed, and adjusted as swelling improves.
