Can I order a 3D-printed cast directly?

No. A Gero cast is designed from a scan of your limb taken at a clinic, and fitted there. Ask your doctor, or tell us which clinic treats you and we will contact them.

Is there a 3D-printed leg cast?

Not from Gero3D yet. Gero casts are made for the upper limb today; lower-limb devices, including leg casts and AFOs, are in development.

Can I get a Gero cast outside Israel?

Gero3D is starting a pilot with clinics in the United States. Elsewhere, tell us which clinic treats you and we will reach out to them.

Is a 3D-printed cast right for me?

That is always your treating doctor's decision. Ask whether a 3D-printed cast suits your injury and stage of healing.

Where to Get a 3D-Printed Cast: A Guide for Patients

Many people find 3D-printed casts online and ask the same thing: where can I get one? The short answer is through a clinic. This guide explains how it works with Gero3D, what is available today, and what you can do if your clinic doesn't offer it yet.

1. Casts are fitted by clinics

A Gero cast is designed from a 3D scan of your own limb, so it is made through a clinic: the team scans the injured limb, our software designs the cast, and it is printed and sent to the clinic for fitting. You can't order one directly. Whether a 3D-printed cast is right for your injury is always your treating doctor's decision.

2. Which Gero casts are available today

Gero3D casts are made for the upper limb: the Short Arm Cast (wrist, forearm and hand), the Thumb Spica Cast (thumb and scaphoid) and the De Quervain Cast. Lower-limb devices, including leg casts and AFOs, are in development and not yet available.

3. Where Gero is available

Gero casts are used in clinics in Israel, where more than 500 treatments have been done and Gero3D has an agreement with Maccabi Healthcare Services. In the United States, Gero3D is starting a pilot program with clinics. If you're elsewhere, or your clinic doesn't offer Gero yet, see step 6.

4. What to ask your doctor

Is a 3D-printed cast suitable for my injury?
Does the clinic offer 3D-printed casts, or would it consider it?
What should I wear in the first days, while the swelling goes down?
How should I care for the cast, and when will it come off?

5. What to expect

At the first visit the clinic may give you a ONE Splint, a ready-made 3D-printed wrist splint, for the first days. The team scans your limb with the Gero app in under two minutes, and you can choose the colour and pattern. In Israel the cast reaches the clinic within 3 days. It weighs about 60 g, compared with 1.5 to 2 kg for plaster, is water-resistant, and comes off without a saw. Read our patient page for care tips.

6. Your clinic doesn't offer Gero yet?

Tell us which clinic or doctor treats you, using this short form. We'll contact them about offering Gero, and let you know if there is a Gero clinic near you. You can also send your doctor a link to our page for clinics.
