This document provides a detailed overview of the items included in the WIMBA Box and how each element contributes to the orthotic creation process.
What’s in the WIMBA Box?
The WIMBA Box is designed to equip veterinary professionals with the essential tools and resources needed for precise WIMBA orthotic creation. With cutting-edge technology and user-friendly components, the WIMBA Box streamlines the process of capturing accurate 3D models of pets' limbs, ensuring custom-made orthotics that perfectly fit each pet's unique anatomy.
What is WimbaSCAN?
Before diving into the specific components of the scanning kit, let’s briefly explain WimbaSCAN.
WimbaSCAN is a revolutionary method of performing 3D scans of the pet’s limb that simplifies and enhances the process of creating custom-made orthotics.
It utilizes advanced 3D scanning technology to capture precise measurements of a pet’s limb in just 15 seconds, using only a smartphone. This eliminates the need for expensive 3D scanners or traditional, messy plaster casting. With an accuracy of up to 0.2 mm, WimbaSCAN ensures that the orthotics produced are perfectly tailored to restore mobility and comfort to pets.
Benefits of WimbaSCAN
- Efficiency: Reduces the time required for measurements to just 15 seconds.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Eliminates the need for costly 3D scanning equipment.
- Accuracy: Provides precise measurements up to 0.2 mm, ensuring a perfect fit of orthotics devices.
- Ease of Use: Requires no specialized skills, making it accessible to all veterinary professionals.
- Improved Patient Outcomes: Tailored orthotics lead to better mobility and comfort for pets, thus more satisfied patients and their pets.
Detailed Descriptions of WIMBA Box Components
Specially Printed Calibration Mat
The specially printed calibration mat is designed to provide a stable and accurate surface for scanning. Its high-contrast pattern enhances the performance of the WimbaSCAN system, guaranteeing the capture of the most detailed and accurate data.
Autodolly
The Autodolly is an automated smartphone holder that moves around the pet's limb to capture a 360-degree scan. This ensures comprehensive coverage and detailed 3D modeling, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and ensuring consistent results.
The Autodolly's arms are adjustable, allowing the device's torsion radius to be adjusted, thereby matching the appropriate frame to the size of the object being scanned.
Autodolly consists of:
- Phone holder
- Arms
- Micro USB charging port
- ON/OFF switch

- Operating conditions: temperature 0°C to +35°C (32ºF to 95ºF), humidity: 20%-60%
Sleeves
The WIMBA Box includes specially patterned sleeves in various sizes to fit snugly on the pet’s limb. These sleeves serve to distinguish the limb from the surroundings, aiding in the precise capture of a 3D scan. Their snug fit guarantees an accurate representation of the limb's anatomy, ensuring optimal orthotic customization.
Cohesive Bandages
As an alternative to the patterned sleeves, cohesive bandages (vet wraps) can be used to highlight the limb during the scanning process. These bandages stick to themselves without adhesives, providing a secure and effective way to outline the limb for accurate measurement. It is particularly useful for scanning for the WIMBA Stifle Orthotic, allowing for effective bandaging around the patient's knee.
Access to Manuals
In addition to the physical components, the WIMBA Box includes a leaflet with the QR code that grants access to comprehensive manuals and digital resources. These manuals offer detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to use each component of the WIMBA Box effectively. Whether it's setting up the scanning equipment or understanding the intricacies of orthotic creation, these manuals serve as invaluable resources for veterinary professionals, ensuring they can maximize the potential of the WIMBA Box and provide optimal care for their patients.
WIMBA Stifle Kit
The WIMBA Stifle Kit is a specialized component of the WIMBA Box tailored for creating stifle braces. This comprehensive kit features essential tools such as a goniometer, which accurately measures joint angles critical for crafting customized braces. Additionally, it includes specially designed patella markers that ensure precise alignment and fit. Detailed manuals accompany the kit, providing step-by-step guidance to assist users in every stage of the stifle brace creation process. With these resources at hand, veterinary professionals can confidently address stifle-related issues in their patients, ensuring optimal support and mobility.
Measuring Tape
The measuring tape included in the WIMBA Box is used to take additional measurements that complement the digital scan. These measurements help verify the accuracy of the 3D model and ensure that the orthotic fits perfectly.
X-Ray Markers
X-ray markers are included to help replicate the pet’s anatomy accurately. These markers provide exact measurements, size, and scale, ensuring that the orthotics are designed to match the pet’s specific needs.
Final Thoughts
WimbaSCAN revolutionizes the way veterinary professionals provide custom orthotics for pets, offering a comprehensive solution that combines state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology with user-friendly components.
By leveraging WIMBA, vet professionals can obtain precise measurements and create tailored orthotics that address the unique needs of each patient, ultimately improving their mobility and enhancing their overall quality of life.
Incorporating WIMBA into your practice not only expands your service offerings but also streamlines the orthotic creation process, allowing you to deliver superior outcomes for your furry patients.
