 All-online order forms

With continuous product upgrades, our order forms must be up-to-the-minute current. To order the latest improvements, please recycle your old, outdated printed order forms and get new ones online at www.cascadedafo.com/orderforms. You can download just the form(s) you use or download an entire master copy set. These forms work both for filling out electronically or by hand.

Note: for custom DAFO orders, you need to send a printed order form along with the cast. If uploading a digital scan, you can also upload a PDF version of the order form, filled out. For Fast Fit (no casting) items, you may email, mail, or fax your order forms to Customer Service.

For even more convenience, you can download and save the master-copy set, then type in your practitioner, billing, and shipping information. Once you save the set again, that information remains for every form, and you can add just the patient- and brace-specific info for each order. A video demo of how to carry the info over is at www.cascadedafo.com/orderforms.

Cascade Continuous Improvement

Prompted by valuable feedback from customers, we have created the Cascade Continuous Improvement (CCI) program to help us implement and share all of the latest changes.

Keep an eye out for the CCI logo, indicating another new enhancement from Cascade. And if you have challenges or product ideas you’d like to discuss, please tell Technical Support, technicalsupport@dafo.com, 800/848-7332.

Our CCI projects so far:

• DAFO 2, Tami 2, DAFO 9 diamond posterior stop
  New diamond shape reduces bulk and offers a more polished look.
• JumpStart updates (see Fast Fit: The Latest)
  Larger sizes (up to 9.00 in.), optional co-poly foundation, more strapping options, taller Kangaroo and Bunny outer foundations, and more.
