More Information

• How it works and looks
  - Material on a roll allows for cutting a strip of material for easy orthotic fabrication.
  - Time saving. No need to make a pattern.

  - It is lightweight and allows ventilation. Prevents maceration of the skin. Excellent patient comfort and compliance.
  - Overlapping seams are not perceptible on the inside.
  - Application of multiple layers increases rigidity and stability of the orthoses.
