Prosthetics and Orthotics using water transfer printing




Water transfer printing is used in all types of industries some of them are obvious ie: hunting, automotive etc. while others are less obvious. Take the field of prosthetics and orthotics. In this field there is specialization in creating artificial limbs and braces that enhance the quality of life for the patient.

While as much as these appliances are functional and in need they do not always reflect visual appeal for their owner, this is where water transfer imaging comes in. This process works so well with complex shapes and there are so many patterns and designs to choose from the owner of a prosthetic and orthotic appliance can customize the look to reflect their attitudes, beliefs and spirit. After all it is not just an appliance but an extension of who we are personally. It is nice to be able to decorate it to reflect our own personality and water transfer imaging can provide us with the means to do just that.

Until next time,

Imagine it.....Dip it!
