Hipcare is a revolutionary 3D-printed orthopedic device that changes the way hip dysplasia is treated in babies. Common plaster casts lead to skin damage, poor hygiene, repeated anesthesia, and increased difficulty in caring for the baby, but Hipcare is an innovative user-centered solution that focuses on improving the quality of life for babies and their families.

Hipcare's innovative design made of PLA mixed with copper particles is tailored to provide maximum comfort while promoting proper hygiene. With a focus on enhancing the quality of life for babies and their families.
