Activarmor’s Revolutionary Custom 3d-Printed Casts Coated with Line-X to Add New Level of Strength, Resistance to Sweat and Water

  • Innovative LINE-X Coating Applied to ActivArmor™ Casts/Braces During the Manufacturing Process for Added Durability and Versatility for Active Lifestyles
  • ActivArmor is the Only Commercially Available 3D Printed Custom Splint in the U.S. 

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., (Feb. 5, 2019) – LINE-X – a global leader in powerful protective coatings – has partnered with ActivArmor™ to deliver extreme durability and liquid resistance to its revolutionary line of next-generation 3D printed casts and braces.

  • “As the first medical application for our renowned coatings, we’re thrilled to be partnering with ActivArmor to bring extreme durability, coupled with extraordinary resistance to liquid, to their casts and braces. The addition of LINE-X brings an already groundbreaking 3D printed medical device to the next level,” said Dennis Weese, president of LINE-X. “Recovering patients using ActivArmor are already experiencing a new era in individualized medical technology and treatment. Those patients will now have the benefit of a durable LINE-X coating that adds to the structural integrity and water resistance of the splint. Many patients can return to their daily routines, like showering and swimming, with no problem.”
  • “During the ongoing product improvement process, we tested several different ways to reinforce and protect our 3D printed orthoses and determined that LINE-X’s biocompatible coating would bring the safest, most protective benefits and hygienic features to our casts,” said Diana Hall, President and Founder of ActivArmor. “We share the same vision in using creatively innovative technology to protect and improve the quality of life for our customers, and we look forward to collaborating on even more custom exoskeletal solutions.”
