The Samsung U-Cast Device Fits Snugly Like a Blood Pressure Machine

— September 8, 2013 — Unique

The high tech-looking device that looks to have come straight from an Iron Man movie, fits around the arm and casts itself according to the user's arm size and proportion like a blood pressure device. Once fitted, the device sends tiny vibrations in order to heal the bone faster than a conventional cast. The U-Cast is also lighter for added comfort, and only requires to be charged. The U-Cast also displays the percentage of fitting balance, depending on the bone's "cracked conditions."
