NRG Morton's Toe Flat Rigid Carbon and Glass Fibre Foot Orthotic Plate
Designed for use as an orthotic material for the manufacture of shoe insoles and orthoses, the NRG Morton's Toe Flat Rigid Carbon and Glass Fibre Foot Orthotic Plate has a fantastic strength to weight ratio. With a thickness of 2.8mm and a highly resilient structure, the flat rigid orthotic plate is ideal for the treatment of such conditions as turf toe (hallux rigidus), Morton's toe, and stress fractures.
What's Included?
As patients may often require only one foot orthotic, the foot plate is provided here as an individual only.
Who Can Use the Carbon Fibre Orthotic Foot Plate?
The Rigid Foot Plate is designed specifically for use by podiatrists and healthcare professionals when building a custom foot orthosis. The foot plate can be combined with other materials to offer the patient a custom orthotic or surgical shoe to assist with the treatment of such conditions as turf toe (hallux rigidus), Morton's toe, or stress fractures.
What's the Benefit of a Carbon and Glass Fibre Plate?
The NRG Flat Foot Orthosis Plate is manufactured from a high-strength blend of carbon fibre and glass fibre. This blend of materials offers high resilience, keeping its shape even after frequent use in high loading applications.
How Customisable Is the NRG Flat Plate?
Designed to be used alongside other materials to create a foot orthotic or surgical shoe, the NRG Carbon Fibre Foot Plate is highly customisable. It is easy to bond using conventional adhesives, and is also easy to fit and finish.
Can I Adjust the Foot Plate Using Heat?
Yes, the NRG Foot Plate can be adjusted using heat. The recommended forming temperature is between 210 - 250°C.
