Although Heat Moldable Orthotic is suitable for a wide range of people, it is not a panacea. For some serious problems, orthopedic insoles may be only one of the auxiliary treatments, and other treatments may also be needed. Therefore, before using orthotic insoles, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor or orthotist.
Material selection
Thermoplastic materials:
Choose thermoplastic materials with high elasticity, good wear resistance and temperature resistance, such as medical-grade thermoplastics or rubber.
These materials should be able to shape evenly when heated and retain their shape when cooled, ensuring Orthotic’s long-lasting durability.
Breathable material:
The inner layer of the Orthotic should be made of breathable, moisture-wicking materials, such as medical-grade cotton or mesh, to reduce foot moisture and odor.
Anti-slip material:
The bottom of the Orthotic should be made of anti-slip material to ensure that the insole will not slip during use and provide stable support.
Production method
Accurate measurement:
Use professional measuring tools and methods to ensure accurate measurements of patient foot size and shape.
Measurement data should include but not be limited to key parameters such as foot length, foot width, and arch height.
Personalized design:
Based on the patient’s foot measurements, a personalized Orthotic shape and support structure is designed.
The design should consider factors such as arch support, heel stability, and sole force distribution.
Heat treatment:
Using advanced heat treatment equipment, the thermoplastic material is heated to the appropriate temperature to ensure that the material can be shaped evenly.
The heat treatment temperature and time should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material and production requirements.
Cooling fixed:
After the material is shaped, the Orthotic is quickly cooled using cooling equipment to ensure that the shape is fixed.
The cooling process should ensure uniform temperature to avoid material deformation or shrinkage.
Trimming and polishing:
After cooling, the Orthotic is trimmed and polished to ensure a perfect fit on the patient’s foot.
During trimming and grinding, care should be taken to avoid damaging the material or affecting the supporting structure.
Final product requirements
Fit evaluation:
Use a foot scanning instrument to measure the fit between the Orthotic and the patient’s foot. The data shows that more than 90% of patients’ feet and the fit between the Orthotic and the Orthotic reach an excellent level.
Supportive assessment:
Through biomechanical testing, the patient’s pressure distribution changes before and after using Orthotic were measured. The data showed that the improvement rate of foot force distribution reached more than 85%.
Comfort evaluation:
A subjective evaluation survey was conducted on patients, and the results showed that more than 95% of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the comfort of Orthotic.
Durability evaluation:
A simulated use test was conducted to simulate the wear and tear of Orthotic in daily use. The results showed that Orthotic still maintains good support and comfort after more than 1,000 simulated uses.
In summary, a Heat Moldable Orthotic that meets the needs of foot and ankle doctors and foot patients should have high standards in terms of material selection, production methods, and final product requirements, and its performance and performance should be verified through specific numerical displays.
