2015 Workshops & Courses
Workshops - August 29, 2015
OCULAR FITTING (8:00 - 9:00)
Presented by Robert Robinson and Kuldeep Raizada
DEMONSTRATION ON FINGER EPITHESES (9:00 - 10:00)
Presented by Jan De Cubber, CDT
The demonstration will explain step by step how to make a finger epitheses. By combining a multi-layer silicone technique, with 3-d computer technology a new generation of finger- and hand epitheses will make a difference for our patients. We analyzed all existing production techniques, and tried to isolate the interesting parts of each one of them. That precious information was then confronted with the state of the art of computer aided design and manufacturing, resulting in the new generation of finger – and hand production protocol.
