HOW IT WORKS

How VYTRUVE works, from scan to fit.

A complete digital workflow that replaces plaster casting, while keeping every clinical decision in your hands.

THE WORKFLOW

Six steps, the way you already work.

01

Patient management and scan

3D scan of the residual limb

Create the patient for long-term follow-up, then capture the residual limb in full color with a validated 3D scanner. Compare two scans to see how the volume changed and know when the limb is stable enough to fit. No plaster, no mess, more comfort for the patient.

  • Scan on skin or on liner, mark reference points on the patient
  • Built-in checklists per device type
  • Automatic measurements for liner sizing
  • Automatic PDF report of how the volume changed between two scans
Watch the scan comparison
02

Rectify online

Online rectification in the browser

Modify the socket in your browser, with the same steps you use in the workshop.

  • Reduction, scoop, recharge, trim lines and alignment
  • Dual view (scan + socket) with measurement at each step
  • Market components built in, on-screen guidance

03

3D printing

3D printing the socket

Get a true check socket, no equipment required.

  • Delivered in 72 hours as standard, or 48 hours express on transtibial and upper limb

  • Or print in-house overnight, once you choose to
  • Transparent, heat-modifiable PETG, 2-month warranty

04

Fit

Fitting and digital transfer

Fit the check socket on the patient, validate comfort and alignment, and fine-tune in front of them.

  • Static and dynamic fitting, adjustments in front of the patient
  • Follow up with automatic scan comparison
Watch the fitting and adjustments
05

Digital transfer

Digital transfer of shape and alignment

Transfer the exact shape and alignment of the validated check socket to the definitive, in 10 minutes, no new cast.

  • Vtransfer plate copies shape and alignment
  • No plaster, no re-cast between check and definitive
  • The digital shape is ready for fabrication

06

Definitive socket

Definitive socket

Build the definitive socket, laminated carbon, 3D-printed or silicone, depending on the case.

  • Carbon lamination, 3D-printed or silicone options
  • Same validated digital shape, no quality loss
  • Delivered ready to assemble with your components
VYTRUVE IN DETAIL

Rectification, the way you do it in plaster.

VYTRUVE reproduces the decisions you make at the bench, by measurement, by section, with control over every zone.

Rectify by measurement

Rectify by measurement

Reduce and shape to exact figures, not by eye.

Rectify by section

Rectify by section

Work cross-section by cross-section, one slice at a time.

Zone locking

Zone locking

Lock the areas you don't want to touch; modify only what matters.

Trim lines

Trim lines

Define and adjust trim lines digitally.

Flares

Flares

Add flares where the limb needs relief.

Suspension

Suspension

Vacuum (air) or distal-lock suspension, your choice.

Foot alignment

Foot alignment

Align with manufacturer foot data built in (Össur, Ottobock and others) and get the exact pylon length to cut.

Add a valve

Add a valve

Place a valve exactly where it's needed.

PATENTED HARDWARE

The only tool that scans a TF patient under load.

The VTF tool holds the ischial seat while the patient stands, so you capture the shape the limb actually takes in weight-bearing, not the shape it takes lying down.

  • Ischial containment held in position while you scan
  • Lateral wall already in the right shape
  • Four arms shaped for the anatomy, including the one sitting in the ischial area
  • BOA tightening that adapts to the vast majority of residual limbs
  • Transparent, so the scanner reads straight through it
  • Height-adjustable base, available in right and left versions

You rectify from the patient's own shape instead of a library of measurements, the socket comes out more comfortable, and a CPO picks up the method in a single session.

SUB-ISCHIAL FITTING

Sub-ischial sockets, and the brim does the shaping for you.

The patient is scanned with the brim already in place. It shapes the proximal part of the socket on the spot, so there is no proximal rectification left to redo. In VYTRUVE, rectifying comes down to reducing to the measurements you took on the patient.

  • No ischial containment, so the patient sits and moves with more freedom
  • Every suspension system works: pin lock, vacuum, Pro Seal, seal-in, lanyard
  • The trim line stays locked at the brim, so suspension is never compromised
  • Alignment set from the clinical exam and the knee and foot manufacturer data

The socket is built around the Össur brim. Our algorithm is trained on its exact geometry, and that is what carries the proximal shape straight from the scan through to the print.

01

Scan with the brim on

One pass on the patient, brim positioned 1 cm below the ischium, level with the top of the greater trochanter. Three landmarks, the circumferences, and you scan.

02

Reduce to your measurements

No proximal rectification. You apply the measurement sheet, smooth, and adjust until the figures match what you took on the patient.

03

Receive and bond

A 5 mm PETG check socket arrives sanded, with the four-hole plate inserts already fitted. You bond the silicone brim and go straight to the fitting.

WHAT STAYS THE SAME

The clinical decisions stay yours.

You assess the patient, choose the socket design and suspension, and make every rectification call. VYTRUVE only changes the medium, not your judgment.

MANUFACTURING

Three ways to manufacture.

Order from the Production Center

No hardware investment, no learning curve. We print your sockets and deliver them in 72 hours as standard, or 48 hours express on transtibial and upper limb. Transfemoral and sub-ischial sockets stay at 72 hours.

Print on a VYTRUVE printer

Scan at 6 p.m., fit the socket the next morning. Slicing comes with the printer and is managed remotely by VYTRUVE, so you press print and nothing else.

Export and print in autonomy

Already have a 3D printer? Export the file and produce it yourself. Slicing, settings and print result stay in your hands, exactly as they are today on your own machine.

SUPPORT

Stuck on a case? We look at it with you.

Most prosthetists work independently after their first two or three transtibial cases. Until then, and any time after, we open the exact file you are working on: a technical problem, a tricky rectification, a last check before an order. You share the case, not the patient's identity.

  1. In the patient file, click the green lifebuoy at the top right, Assistance and consent.
  2. Tick the box to confirm you have the patient's consent.
  3. A six digit code appears. Give it to us in the chat.

Live chat from inside the app, or support@vytruve.com

The Assistance and consent button, at the top right of the patient file.

See it on your own cases.

All you need to start is a validated 3D scanner, the Medixa, and a laptop running Chrome. Book a 30 minute demo and we will run the whole workflow on one of your own cases, from scan to finished socket.
