Accommodative Orthotics


Accommodative Orthotic with polypropylene shell

Polypropylene shell

A thin polypropylene shell with soft EVA plantar fill makes this a flexible, medium support device that does not bottom out. The 1/16” Poron plus 1/8” P-cell (closed cell EVA foam) top covers offer good cushioning and shock absorption. The thin stiff EVA bottom covers protect the underside and make it easier to insert the orthotics into shoes. The EVA plantar fill adds strength to the orthotic so that a relatively thinner polypropylene can be used for the shell thus reducing weight and bulk.

 


Custom Foot Orthotic with EVA shell

EVA shell

These orthotics are mainly indicated for patients with diabetes and others who are unable to tolerate rigid functional devices. Rather than controlling the foot, they are designed to accommodate a variety of foot pathologies. The shell (body or base layer) is constructed of shore A 35 durometer EVA. They are designed using impressions (foam, plaster or digital scans) taken of the patients feet. The inserts are milled out of a block of EVA using a CNC router.

 The standard top cover cushions include 1/16” Poron + 1/8” P-Cell (closed cell EVA foam).

When ordering, please send the shoes (or an outline of the insoles from the shoes) in which the orthotics will be worn.


Custom foot orthotic with toe filler

Toe Filler addition to orthotic

The plastazote filler piece is lined with Poron to protect the stump. A 1/16" polypropylene bottom plate provides stiffness to keep the forefoot of the device positioned correctly in the shoe. The top cover is P-Cell and Poron. The shell is either EVA or polypropylene.

When ordering, please send the shoes (or an outline of the insoles from the shoes) in which the orthotics will be worn. We require foam or plaster cast impressions to make these fillers.
