fabricating orthotic devices

AB
Rohadurrigid, easy to heat, fractures when fails, no longer manufactured
polydorrigid, problems with strength,will not deform,will fracture when fail, easy to heat adjust
Polypropylenerigid, semiflexible, or flexible, difficult to heat adjust, will deform when fail, cannot be used on pt. that requires strict rigid device
TL 2100rigid, graphite fiberglass composite, heating causes weakening, difficult to heat adjust
superformrigid, graphite fiberglass composite, easy to heat adjust
korexsoft, cork and latex, for accomodative devicesand extrinsic posts, easy to work with and grind, will not deform, aka leather rubber butters
plastazotesoft, compresses in areas of greatest pressure, easy to work with and grind, easily heat moldable
spongesoft, shock absorbtion, retains shape after compression, elastic materials,
spencotop cover, neoprene with fabric cover, shock absorbtion, decreases shearing force, good for athletes, helps decrease callus formation, rqrs freq. rplcmt
leathertop cover, usually for accomodative devices, rarely for functional devices, strong long lasting, absorbs sweat, difficult to clean
naugahydetop cover, synthetic, strong, will not absorb sweat, easy to clean
