Texas Turbo: Fabrication Overview

An overview of the entire Texas TURBO fabrication process.

[@thegreatbazmundo74]

Great video guys. I have been an Orthotic Technician for 20 years now and this is the first time I have seen how someone else or another company manufacturers the stuff I make. Makes me feel part of a bigger group rather than just the small company I work for.

[@shivorthotics3006]

Nice work man

[@davescarpetti]

Fantastic video too, you guys are serious craftsmen!

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

It's zonolite, aka vermiculite. It makes the models easier to rectify, plaster build-ups stick better. It helps and it's cheap.

[@20MDM]

This might be a dumb question, but why did you choose to put the pads in the malleoli pads at the end and not before the draping when you could have skived and put the pads underneath the nylon stockinette (baby powder could then be used as a separator during the vacuuming)?

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

We modify enough room into the model to accommodate adding pads near the end of the process. The pads that we use are very soft and low durometer, the hot plastic under vacuum would permanently compress this type of padding too much to still be effective.

[@debonair3625]

At 7:17 which hand machine is that you are using to cut AFO ???

[@anonimo8291]

En colombia hacen este trabajo

[@SophatSuong]

You are so awesome!

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

The material we add to plaster is zonolite, sometimes called vermiculite

[@complex2034]

we work the exact same way with the exact same tools here in montreal, canada. Great work guys ! your anvil is nicer tho ;-) lol

[@debonair3625]

At 7:17 which hand machine is used to cut AFO plastic?

[@fernandoflorez632]

Buenos días cual es la medida exacta donde deben ir los maniquíes de la articulación para AFO teniendo encuentra que un maléolo es mas alto que el interno?

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

We will at some point. Just subscribe to our channel to stay up to date with our releases.

The Thing That You add With The Plaster That Make His Colour Grey n It's Just A Dye ????

[@davescarpetti]

If I had no insurance, how much would these be? I've been through so many braces that just aren't good.

[@10mrturbo]

A full footplate will keep the orthosis from cutting into the sulcus of the foot and aid in toe pick up.

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

Dean Hansen Perhaps in some designs, but it hasn't been an issue. We use full length padded footplates, something no one else that I know of does. It works very well for us.

[@debonair3625]

At 6.42 which cutter is that?

[@brandonpierce5961]

its called a 5 in 1 leather cutter I believe. Or at least that will get you closer in the right direction!

[@abitkasmal7932]

Is this AFO rigid design?

[@20MDM]

More videos, please!

[@YumClickCafe]

Why did you choose to use a shorter footplate, rather than a full foot that other ground reaction designs use?

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

Erin Tatum A full footplate adds no benefit, it just makes the shoe tighter. There is no added rigidity with a polypro footplate that is flat. Short answer, easier to fit in the shoe.

[@YumClickCafe]

Advanced Orthopedic Designs Thank you for the fast reply

[@sisaymondavah4531]

Bowl leg ?

[@nozyspy4967]

What is the vermiculite for?

[@bagonth]

It makes the plaster less dense so it's lighter to work with.

[@russrusselson2136]

at 7:38 I am looking at some sweet buffing machines. Do you think I can use a 1/2 hp motor to serve my needs?

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

My router is 1/2 hp and works well.

[@russrusselson2136]

Thank you!

[@russrusselson2136]

I hope I am not bothering you but would this work instead of buying a router? www.arbemachine.com/View/Two-Speed-Polishing-Motor

[@russrusselson2136]

and I was going to attach this to it www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IXQ4W/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_1_w

[@bagonth]

Is there no sound with this video?

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

I guess not. My techs made the video.

[@minakhadka4539]

can u plz explain the trimline being made

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

Proximally the trimline extends to the tibial tubercle. Medially and laterally they extend beyond the apices of the maleoli.

[@minakhadka4539]

Advanced Orthopedic Designs thanks

[@saifulsyazwanmohffadzil1650]

What is the function of zonolite?

[@AdvancedOrthopedic]

+saiful syazwan mohf fadzil Zololite is a light weight filler. It makes the plaster more absorbant and I think it makes plaster buildups stick better.

[@saifulsyazwanmohffadzil1650]

Thank you for the fast reply. great information
