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.
– Wider versions of Orficast allow for making a volar or dorsal slab.
– The material is easily stretched to conform to the patient’sunique anatomy.
– Orthosis can be remoulded when corrections are needed. Avoids waste of material.
– Soft feeling and smooth edges.
– 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.
– Dry heat is helpful for bonding of corners and straps.
– Precise moulding and a snug fit prevent pressure points.
– Fabrication of larger orthoses will require dry heat for bonding. - Recommended applications
