2. BACKGROUND



The Wichita VAMC currently uses a HIX CORP Infrared Oven to heat plastics to form prosthetic limb components for test sockets. The current oven was acquired in 1983, is beyond its current life cycle, and due for replacement.

The new oven will allow our Prosthetist to create test sockets efficiently, reducing heating time up to 10 minutes per socket, as well as reducing energy consumption. The sensor on the new oven will measure material sag and alert clinician that material is ready to be formed, reducing opportunity for human error regarding time management with multitasking. The mobile cart facilitated switching between the Teflon covered work surface and vacuum forming frame quickly saving space and reducing potential for harm (clinician does not have to carry hot plastic to new station).
