Exos Casting
A revolutionary technology that provides an adjustable, waterproof solution for the treatment of fractures and injuries requiring stabilisation.
Exos Casting is only available at PhysioChoice Marrickville.
PhysioChoice Marrickville is proud to offer the Exos Bracing System from Enovis.
This modern bracing technology offers a custom-moulded, adjustable alternative to conventional plaster or fibreglass casting for fractures and other injuries that require stabilisation.
Exos braces use thermoformable materials that can be shaped directly to the patient’s body, allowing physiotherapists to achieve a secure, comfortable fit. The system is lightweight, waterproof, and radiolucent, meaning it can remain in place during X-ray imaging. These properties make it particularly suitable for certain non-displaced fractures and similar injuries where traditional casting may not be necessary.
Custom Moulded for Comfort and Support
During application, the brace is heated until the material becomes flexible, allowing it to be carefully moulded to the injured area for a precise fit. Within a few minutes, the material cools and hardens, providing firm, cast-like support.
The brace is constructed from a combination of polymers and foam, which helps keep it lightweight while still providing strong structural stability.
Adjustable Compression System
Exos braces use the Boa® Reel and Lace Dynamic Compression Closure System. This reel-and-lace mechanism allows practitioners and patients to quickly adjust the brace for optimal support.
This system enables:
- Adjustment to accommodate swelling during the early stages of injury.
- Ongoing fit modification as swelling reduces or soft tissue changes.
- Consistent compression for improved comfort and stability.
Waterproof and Easy to Maintain
Unlike traditional casts, Exos braces are fully waterproof. Patients can shower, bathe, or participate in water activities without damaging the brace.
The materials can also be cleaned with just soap and water, helping reduce bacterial accumulation and odour, and maintaining good hygiene throughout the recovery period.
Convenient Removal and Monitoring
The brace can be removed without using a cast saw. This allows clinicians to easily inspect the injured area when required, such as to check wound sites or monitor fracture healing.
Lightweight, Low-Profile Design
Exos braces are typically 25–50% lighter than conventional plaster or fibreglass casts. Their slim profile also allows them to sit more discreetly under clothing, making them easier for many patients to wear during daily activities.
