I asked both Cast Print Latvia and US based rapid prototyper to make a wedge file for me. Both designers made wedges that I included below. Both are equally good and I can't tell them apart.
Cast wedges are used to fulcrum a cast and straighten a bone. This is done with orthopedic surgeons are not able to fixate a fracture with pins and plates. Often in conflict zones, surgeons have too many people to help at once.
These wedges can be easily resized to be used on younger children. Please contact me with any questions.
