How it works and looks

.Transparency indicates when the material is ready to mould. Allows for proper alignment and visual monitoring over anatomical landmarks

Temporary adhesion during orthotic fabrication and reliable permanent bonding by using dry heat. Tackiness helps orthosis stay in place during fabrication. All attachments and outriggers can be adhered easily

.Very precise moulding conforms to patient anatomy, for example in the hand arches and first web space. Accurate moulding improves correct dispersion of skin pressure

.Completely remouldable and can be adjusted easily after reheating locally

.Avoids waste of material

.Soft version has less resistance to stretch and more drape, while stiff version has increased resistance to stretch and less drape
