Huh? We literally have similar devices since at least the 90ies and they absolutely do have drawbacks in terms of treatment quality/range.

Thirdly, it's a lot quicker to manufacture. "A conventional rigid brace takes more than two weeks to manufacture," VNTC points out, while "Spinamic can be immediately customized and delivered based on clinical X-ray data."

Yeah that doesn't explain how long it takes to build this device.

Looks like this brace could be a game changer for scoliosis patients, I hope it works out!
