Hanger's Insignia 3D Laser Scanning

The three-dimensional Insignia laser scanner, developed exclusively for use by Hanger practitioners, incorporates the same patented technology used by the United States Armed Services, which enables image capture of limbs, head or torso to occur in a rapid and accurate fashion for all patients in a variety of settings.

Insignia revolutionizes the process of fitting a patient for a prosthetic or orthotic device. Insignia's cutting edge technology, combined with Hanger's highly-skilled staff provides patients with highly accurate, well fitting devices, as well as significant improvements in comfort, convenience, and timesavings.

For post-surgery patients, the Insignia scan requires little, if any, physical contact, and scanning can be performed on patients in bed. A unique symmetry feature used for post-surgical spinal patients allows the patient to be fit for a spinal jacket while lying in bed without having to roll from front to back. The Hanger practitioner scans one hemisphere of the body and the symmetry function built into the Insignia software creates the image of the opposite side to form a complete image.
This cutting edge technology ensures consistently accurate custom fitted devices. "My socket had a better fit than what I had before, especially around the knee," says Ken Hammer, a Hanger patient. The scans are accurate to within one millimeter and the three-dimensional feature gives detailed surface information often lost with a cast or mechanical digitizer. Insignia's proprietary CAD software creates a permanent patient record that allows for rapid refitting and adjustments, the justification of medical necessity for a new device, and better patient/physician information exchange.
