Step 1
Size it
Choose the variant and size. The pre-cured immobilizer is soft and mouldable.
Home / Technology
Light-cured polymer immobilizer
Soft on the limb. Rigid in minutes under UV-free light. Washable and breathable for the whole recovery.
Watch the cure
From soft sleeve to rigid shell in minutes
Unboxing to cured, in 46 seconds. Sizing, zipping, and curing under the RizyCure light.
FlexiOH® holds a photo-curing resin sealed in silicone, bonded to a foam liner. On the limb it stretches and moulds. Under RizyCure's high-intensity blue light a photochemical reaction hardens it — typically in three to five minutes.
- Water-free. No slurry, no bath, no setting clock.
- Cured when you say so. Reduce, position, check — then apply the light.
- About 45% open to air. Skin visible, sweat evaporates, washable.
- Unaffected by heat or moisture once cured.

Safety
Safe for skin, eyes and the cast room
- 100% UV-free. RizyCure emits visible blue light only — no ultraviolet component.
- Skin-safe materials. Latex-free foam liner tested to ISO 10993-10; non-sensitising, non-irritating.
- Eye protection. Avoid looking into the light; wear the supplied goggles during curing.
- Surface warms during curing. Do not touch the outer surface until cured; the foam liner shields the skin.
- No cast saw. Removal with bone-cutting forceps — no saw burns, no lacerations, no noise, no dust.
- Class I, Type B device. RizyCure Corded runs from 110–240 V mains; maximum continuous run about 10 minutes.
- Single use, checked before use. Every unit is leak-tested at the factory; a leaking unit is never applied.
- Made under ISO 13485. Certified by BSI; CE marked; US FDA listed.
Live in action
In clinics, on patients
Curing a long thumb spica. Fitted, zipped and cured in the clinic.
Guatemala. First light-cured immobilizer in the country — from clinic to pool.
Size it. Zip it. Cure it. The 30-second film.
Full application films exist for every variant (short arm, full arm, long thumb spica, radial gutter, ulnar gutter, short leg). Host them on the production site and embed them here.
In the cast room
Size it. Zip it. Cure it.
Step 2
Zip and lock it
Wrap, zip and set the limb. Align the bone now — nothing changes after curing.
Step 3
Cure it. Done.
Three to ten minutes under the RizyCure light. The polymer hardens into a rigid, ventilated shell.
Removal
Pliers, not a saw
Cut away with bone-cutting forceps. No cast cutter, no saw burns, no noise, no dust. For children the zip-puller is removed at application.
