3D medical printing · Guatemala
We design and manufacture custom splints using 3D printing — lighter, breathable, and better fitted to each patient's exact contour than conventional plaster or generic thermoplastic options.

Unlike plaster or standard thermoplastic splints, a 3D printed splint starts from real patient measurements to create a device that fits precisely, distributes pressure better, and is easier to tolerate in daily use.
Flat-storage splints that activate and adapt with heat — ideal for emergency kits, first aid, and pre-hospital care in Guatemala and Central America.
Additive manufacturing enables geometries impossible with conventional molds: mesh structures for ventilation, variable rigidity zones, and complex anatomical shapes — all in a single manufacturing process.
When fit, comfort, or use context are critical, the difference is significant.
We gather clinical information: diagnosis, anatomical zone, required range of motion, and use context.
We model the splint using specialized software with direct measurements or 3D scanning of the patient's anatomical segment.
We print the prototype in the material indicated for the case and review it with the specialist before final delivery.
We make any necessary adjustments until the specialist confirms correct functional fit for the patient.
Immobilization of wrist, hand, ankle, or foot with better anatomical fit and greater comfort during the recovery period.
Sprains, tears, or ligament injuries where comfort during prolonged use directly influences treatment adherence.
Functional support in paralysis, spasticity, or conditions where correct segment posture is therapeutically relevant.
Precise fit and aesthetic customization make a real difference in children where device tolerance is a frequent challenge.
A 3D printed splint is an orthopedic device manufactured through additive manufacturing from a personalized digital design. Unlike conventional plaster or generic thermoplastic splints, it adapts precisely to each patient's anatomy, resulting in better fit, greater comfort, and reduced weight.
Digital Strings manufactures custom 3D printed splints in Guatemala. We work directly with specialists and patients to design and produce splints adapted to each clinical case. Contact us through this page or write to info@digistrings.com.
In most cases, yes. 3D printed splints are lighter, allow ventilation through perforated or mesh structures, do not deteriorate with water, and fit more precisely to the patient's anatomy — reducing pressure points and improving tolerance during prolonged use.
The typical process takes between 3 and 7 business days, including digital design, printing, and specialist review before delivery.
Yes. We coordinate projects across Central America. For projects outside Guatemala, the design process is handled remotely and shipping or delivery is coordinated according to the scope of the project.
