Originating in Vancouver, USA, Amfit Orthotics is an international company with a world-class reputation. They are known by many in the orthotics field as the world’s best high-tech custom-built computerised orthotic foot products’ manufacturer.
Amfit’s CAD/CAM milling system, combined with VersaTek sensors, is used to manufacture custom designed Amfit Innersoles, which it does by accurately profiling feet and identifying problem areas.
The VersaTek sensors enable a precise measurement of a three-dimensional map of the foot which is recorded digitally on a computer. This information is used by the milling machine to create a precise innersole that matches a patient’s foot perfectly enabling maximum mobility and pain relief (for injuries).
How Does It Work?
For patients who are in need of an insole, the Amfit Innersole fitting at Deist and Associates will go as follows:
The patient will place their foot in the digitiser. Sensors rise until they are just touching the contours of the sole of the foot.
This digital image is then be modified to accommodate the patient’s specific prescription and the final picture is stored into memory.
Innersole blanks are fed into the CAD/CAM milling system which then shape the blanks according to the contours stored in memory.
The newly formed Amfit Innersoles are then covered with a decorative material and trimmed to fit into the patient’s shoes perfectly.
