Download our Scandi Orthopedic 3D scanner app from the App Store here. The app is compatible with newer models of Iphone. Contact us for an access key. Our Scandiop 360° scanning jig is useful for accurate scans.
Important! The joints must be in a natural loading position, with the exception of flexon tendon injury when the joints must be in an offloading angle. For small or sedated dogs the best way can sometimes be to have the animal lie on a table, push out the leg, set the joint angulation with VetWrap, and scan free-hand in a vertical circle (see movie below). Scans that do not comply with these guidelines cannot be used for orthosis design.
