ActivArmor Now Available in Montana Through Missoula Sports Medicine
Montanans are built differently.
Life in Montana is defined by movement, adventure, and the outdoors. Whether it is hiking mountain trails, rafting the Clark Fork, skiing fresh powder, fly fishing on legendary rivers, or simply living an active lifestyle, people here do not slow down easily. When injury strikes, traditional casting has often forced patients into weeks of inconvenience, discomfort, and limitations.
That changes today.
ActivArmor is officially now available in Montana through a new partnership with Missoula Sports Medicine, making the state the latest to offer patients access to fully custom, waterproof, breathable 3D-printed casts and splints.
This marks a major step forward for orthopedic innovation across the region and gives patients throughout Western Montana access to next-generation fracture and injury care that aligns with the way they live.
A First for Montana
Missoula Sports Medicine has become the first provider in Montana to offer ActivArmor’s FDA-registered custom 3D-printed casts and splints.
This means patients across Missoula and surrounding communities now have access to a casting solution designed for real life.
Unlike traditional fiberglass or plaster casts, ActivArmor devices are:
Fully waterproof
Lightweight and breathable
Custom-designed to each patient’s anatomy
Hygienic and washable
Durable enough for active lifestyles
Designed to allow normal daily activities like showering, swimming, and outdoor recreation
For patients accustomed to the frustrations of conventional casts, itching, odor, moisture retention, skin irritation, and activity restrictions, ActivArmor offers a dramatically different recovery experience.
For Montana patients, that difference matters.
In a state where recovery cannot mean stepping away from life entirely, It means staying engaged, staying active where medically appropriate, and healing without unnecessary compromise.
The Right Partner for Montana
Bringing ActivArmor to Montana required the right clinical partner, one deeply rooted in the community and committed to advancing patient care.
That partner is Missoula Sports Medicine, one of Western Montana’s premier non-surgical orthopedic and sports medicine practices.
Located in Missoula, the clinic serves athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and active individuals throughout the region with expert diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and performance-focused care. Their philosophy centers on helping patients recover efficiently and return confidently to the activities they love.
Missoula Sports Medicine is led by two highly respected physicians whose backgrounds reflect exceptional expertise in sports medicine.
Dr. Tim McCue is board certified in radiology and sports medicine, with fellowship training in musculoskeletal imaging and primary care sports medicine. His diagnostic expertise allows patients to receive highly precise assessments and individualized treatment planning.
Dr. Tim Durkin is board certified in sports medicine and emergency medicine, with advanced training that includes biomedical engineering and a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Florida. His extensive experience treating active patients spans everything from collegiate athletics to endurance and wilderness sports.
Together, Dr. McCue and Dr. Durkin serve as team physicians for University of Montana Grizzlies Athletics and have provided medical coverage for elite-level events ranging from Division I football to international competitions.
Their understanding of athlete-centered care makes them an ideal fit for ActivArmor.
Built for Western Montana Living
Montana’s outdoor culture is not seasonal. It is part of daily life.
Patients recovering from fractures or orthopedic injuries often face a difficult tradeoff with traditional casting: protect the injury or maintain quality of life.
Traditional casts often mean no swimming, no river days, no showering without cumbersome protection, and no flexibility for people whose routines revolve around movement.
ActivArmor changes that equation.
The waterproof, breathable lattice design allows patients to shower normally, spend time outdoors, and maintain greater independence throughout recovery.
For a place like Missoula, where rivers, trails, and recreation are woven into everyday life, this technology is especially relevant.
As Dr. Tim Durkin noted, this technology gives patients the ability to swim, shower, and get back out on the river, something nearly impossible with traditional casting.
That practical freedom is exactly why ActivArmor continues expanding into communities where active living is more than a hobby, it is part of identity.
Innovation That Improves Recovery
ActivArmor is more than a convenience upgrade.
It represents a significant evolution in orthopedic recovery.
Each device is digitally designed using patient-specific measurements and advanced 3D-printing technology to create a precise anatomical fit. This custom approach can improve immobilization accuracy while enhancing comfort and reducing many of the complications associated with traditional casting.
Patients frequently report:
Greater comfort throughout recovery
Reduced skin irritation
Easier hygiene maintenance
Improved mobility in unaffected areas
Better overall treatment satisfaction
For providers, ActivArmor offers a clinically advanced solution that aligns with modern patient expectations for personalized care.
For patients, it restores normalcy during recovery.
Expanding Access Across the U.S.
The Montana launch is part of ActivArmor’s continued national expansion through partnerships with forward-thinking medical practices committed to innovation.
As healthcare evolves toward more personalized, patient-centered treatment models, ActivArmor continues working with leading orthopedic, sports medicine, and rehabilitation providers to bring better recovery experiences to patients across the country.
Missoula Sports Medicine reflects exactly the kind of clinical excellence ActivArmor seeks in its partners: physicians who combine deep expertise with a commitment to practical innovation.
The launch also underscores a broader shift in orthopedic care.
Patients increasingly expect solutions that work with their lives, not against them.
ActivArmor delivers exactly that.
