About Phat Braces
Bio-Mechanical Composites, Inc. has developed this orthosis in a prefabricated model. The orthosis has always been custom made to the individual patient. We have evaluated the thousands of custom orthoses we’ve fabricated over the past ten years and determined the most common sizes and strengths to develop this prefabricated line.
The prefabricated models, although fabricated to the same specifications as the custom orthosis, are only intended for patients with minimal valgus, varus and rotational deviations. It is recommended that a practitioner with experience in the application of this bracing system, evaluate the patient's individual deficit profile. A trained practitioner will be able to determine if a greater functional outcome would be achieved with a custom orthosis.
Bio-Mechanical Composites, Inc. does not warranty/guarantee the prefabricated orthosis unless it is fit by a orthotist specifically trained in the application of our bracing system. A listing of Orthotists that are certified for the fitting of this orthosis are available on our locations map.
