Welcome to the Exos Corporation

Products are dry heated for 3 to 5 minutes for instant moisture free application. No messy water on the patient or surroundings. No resins or sticky substances. No clean up required.

Save time with Exos pre-made splints, casts and braces. Simply select the proper size. No cutting or assembling required. Average project time is less than 8 minutes start to finish.

Exos products have predictable working times, affording ample time for proper reduction and alignment. When heated the thin, smooth and softened products provide important tactile feedback from the injured site. They will not harden unexpectedly while being applied because the application time is seconds, not minutes.

Exos products are easily removed and may be reheated as necessary to accommodate re-alignment or refitting.

Exos casts and braces have adjustable closures, allowing patients to precisely tighten or loosen to accommodate for swelling and/or atrophy and comfort. Products can be tightened for activities and loosened when passive.

Exos products feature foam linings that increase patient comfort, are cooler and less irritating than existing systems. Soft edges, soft outer linings and adjustable closures reduce irritation and improve comfort. Better fit and lighter weight also contribute to better patient compliance.

With dry application, Exos products are cleaner and less prone to bacteria buildup caused by wet stockinet and padding used with most current products and that remain damp for many hours.

Exos products are radiolucent, allowing for clear X-ray imaging without removal and re-application. No cast saw is ever needed.

Exos is far more durable than other systems so it rarely requires replacement. The outer fabric surface is abrasion resistant and all products are washable on or off the body.

Exos is completely waterproof and non-absorbent so it can get wet daily, can be washed on the body and used for water activities. No more water proof covers for bathing (unless broken skin is healing). Air dry or use a hair drier to speed drying.

Exos material is 25% to 50% lighter than Fiberglass or plaster.

All of the advantages described in the previous question apply. These existing materials, mostly used for bracing and splinting rather than casting, are considerably more difficult to work with than Exos braces, splints and sheet materials.

Exos braces are pre-made, thus less labor is required in the clinic. Braces are easily and quickly applied dry and require no clean up.

Exos pre-made products preclude the need for excessive training, practice and experience in application compared to standard methods. We’ve taken the labor, guesswork and time out of the process of making braces and splints.

Exos sheet material is covered with unbroken loop fabric that engages hook fastener anywhere on its surface for quick assembly of custom parts and closures. Custom supports can be cut, formed and assembled in minutes. The elastic nature of the Exos material results in a better fit. The materials will improve the retention of shape, while remaining soft on the patient.

With the loop fabric surface of Exos sheet, Exos’ Boa adjustable hook and loop lace fastening system can be applied in seconds and provides the ultimate in closure control. Other hook and loop closures are also available.

Exos sheet material has a soft foam inner lining and stretch fabric outer lining that improves forming when warm and increases practitioner and patient comfort during application. The foam layer provides a comfortable padded edge for most uses and reduces the need for edge treatments. Exos adhesive edge tape increases edge comfort and applies instantly and permanently. Compared to existing products that generally place hard plastic next to the skin or requires stockinette, Exos sheet materials provide a clear advantage.

The ease and precision of molding, forming and aligning Exos braces and sheet materials results in a better, more precise fit to the patient, resulting in better stabilization, improved healing and greater compliance. The thickness and thereby the stiffness of the brace material and sheet material can be varied to provide the desired degree of support yet allow for the desired amount of flexibility in the device, which can reduce atrophy and promote better healing.

Exos product prices are generally comparable to high quality products they replace. They provide a substantial savings in labor, office time and the ancillary costs associated with application time.

In the case of plaster, there is an increase in materials cost with Exos products. However, application time and cleanup are greatly reduced making the total cost less.

The material costs are comparable for both casting and splinting yet, again, labor is greatly reduced due to faster application and no cleanup. There is no waste as seen with hardened materials that are typically discarded.

Exos braces and sheet materials are of comparable cost for custom fit and assembled bracing and sheet products. However, labor is greatly reduced and the patient comfort and, therefore, outcomes are superior.

Exos products are radiolucent and preclude removal for X-ray. This eliminates repeated splinting and casting and the costs associated with replacement materials and the associated labor. Also, the durability of Exos products precludes typical regular replacement.
