Material information

Natural polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer belonging to the polyolefin group. It stands out for its lightness, strength and ability to provide stability and biomechanical correction in foot orthoses.

Typical uses
Indicated for foot orthoses that require significant biomechanical correction or compensation. It is used, for example, in paediatric conditions that need greater control and correction, such as paediatric flat foot.

Material information

Carbon polypropylene shares the base composition of natural polypropylene and incorporates carbon particles. It stands out for its lightness, stability and greater elasticity, offering a good balance between biomechanical control and flexibility.

Typical uses
Indicated for foot orthoses that require significant biomechanical correction combined with elasticity. It is used, for example, with athletes who need the control provided by a plastic material together with good elastic capacity, to avoid excessive stress on the tissues.

Material information

E.V.A. is a closed-cell thermoplastic polymer made up of ethylene and vinyl acetate units. It stands out for its low weight and range of hardnesses, which allow its properties to be adapted to different uses and applications.

Available hardnesses
30, 40, 50 and 60, as well as dual- and triple-hardness combinations.

Typical uses
Its function varies depending on the hardness selected: higher hardnesses provide greater mechanical support, while lower ones offer a more cushioning function.

Material information

Polyurethane is a polymer whose formulation allows different properties to be obtained depending on the application. Open-cell polyurethane foam is used to manufacture these foot orthoses, standing out for its cushioning, adaptability and comfort.

Typical uses
Used in foot orthoses intended to help distribute plantar pressures and provide cushioning.

Because of its characteristics, it is used with diabetic foot patients and geriatric patients, according to the professional’s assessment. Its function prioritises cushioning and comfort, with a lesser corrective effect or mechanical support than other materials.

Material information

E.V.A. is used as the top and bottom covering of foot orthoses. It is available in a wide range of colours, thicknesses and grades, with smooth or micro-perforated finishes, to tailor the final cover of each insole.

Typical uses
Used as the final cover of foot orthoses. Greater thicknesses provide more comfort, while micro-perforated finishes promote breathability.

In polypropylene insoles, the E.V.A. bottom lining is used to provide extra firmness.

Material information

Porón is a polyurethane foam used in technical pieces and specific areas of foot orthoses. Depending on its hardness and resilience, it can deliver different mechanical responses, such as impact absorption, cushioning or a rebound effect.

Typical uses
Used to provide comfort, offloading and cushioning in specific areas of the insole, through additional pieces or as a top layer under another covering.

It must have a cover lining that prevents direct contact with the skin, as friction can generate heat.

Material information

Plastazote is a high-purity cross-linked polyethylene thermoplastic foam, expanded using pressurised nitrogen. It is used as a top and intermediate covering material in foot orthoses.

Typical uses
Used in foot orthoses for people with diabetes, at-risk feet or deformities. It can also be incorporated into treatments for feet with ulcerations, according to the professional’s assessment and prescription.

Material information

On Steam is a 100% microfibre material used as the top and intermediate lining in foot orthoses. It stands out for its pleasant feel, absorbency, breathability and odour control.

Typical uses
Used as a covering for foot orthoses, especially for people who do physical activity or have problems with sweating, thanks to its breathability and anti-odour properties.

Material information

On Suede is a versatile, soft synthetic material with a velvety feel, used as the top and intermediate lining in foot orthoses.

Typical uses
Used as the top and intermediate covering of foot orthoses, giving a soft-touch finish.

Available colours
Black · Beige · Leather.

Material information

Graphite is a synthetic material used as the bottom lining of foot orthoses. It stands out for its non-slip properties, durability and carbon-like visual finish.

Typical uses
Used as the bottom covering of foot orthoses. Thanks to its non-slip properties, it is especially recommended for insoles intended for people who do physical activity.

Available colour
Silver.
