More Information
- How it works and looks
– Tape roll allows to use circumferential wrapping and moulding technique. Time saving. No need to make a pattern
– Perfect size (width) for small and larger orthoses. Can accommodate different sized fingers and different orthotic designs
– Allows precise modelling conform the patient anatomy, for example in the web space
– Orthoses can be remoulded when corrections are needed. Avoids waste of material
– Soft touch feeling and smooth edges. Lightweight. Allows ventilation.
– Prevents maceration of the skin. Excellent patient comfort and compliance.
– Allows to easily cut small pieces to use as reinforcement of the orthoses when desired
– Overlapping seams are not perceptible on the inside. Application of multiple layers raises rigidity and stability of the orthoses.
