"Shaping Waist Support" creates a sensation at the Assistive Technology and Care Expo
August 1st marks the final day of the 2020 ATLife (Taiwan Assistive Technology and Long-term Care Exhibition). Silicone & Rheo-Tech Co., Ltd. made its debut at the event, attracting a steady stream of visitors. The "Shaping Waist Support" received the highest number of inquiries and achieved excellent sales results.
Waist supports are the most popular personal healthcare products. Siline has launched the "Molded Waist Support," which features a lightweight, electric design and is manufactured using a patented "vacuum-forming inner liner" material for a snugger and more comfortable fit. This technology can be applied to the production of the "Molded Waist Support" and various ergonomic rehabilitation aids, which is expected to impact the market for existing rigid spinal braces. It can also be used to create various protective gear and orthoses, such as wrist guards and splints, garnering significant attention from the medical community.
Sales Manager Tsai Pei-ling stated that compared to traditional and pulley-style waist supports, the "Molding Waist Support" is lightweight, soft, and virtually invisible, remaining breathable even in the summer heat. By using electric air extraction to shape the vacuum-molding liner, it provides a more customized fit and superior stability and support.
Si-Ling stated that early metal back braces, and later plastic versions, were both heavy and inconvenient to use. The improved back brace, featuring a "vacuum-molded liner," is soft in texture and easy to fold for storage. To use it, simply put it on and secure it, then draw a vacuum using the attached electric device. Within 20 seconds, the liner hardens and molds to the body's curves, providing support. Weighing only a few hundred grams, it is aesthetically pleasing, user-friendly, and easy to store, allowing it to replace traditional plaster casts in various types of orthopedic braces.
Silink, whose core business is semiconductors, has diversified into the development of medical assistive devices and sports protective gear using "vacuum-formed liners." The company will collaborate with distributors for promotion and also supply materials to medical and sports equipment manufacturers to develop a diverse range of products. Phone: (03) 560-1066.
