MATERIALS

Active3D™

Active3D™ is thermoformed fabric made of special foamed, cell-closed designed material. It reduces the pressure on the body or any abrasions made by orthopaedic stays and aluminum splints. It is fully waterproof fabric and does not absorb sweat. It’s easy to clean. Due to its features, the fabric is an excellent product for making medical orthopaedic braces and orthoses. ACTIVE 3D™ has various external self-gripping layers. Our material has special, thermoformed properties and may be shaped according to the functional goals of the final braces.

AirDistance II™

AirDistance II™ is an innovative technological fabric. It’s 3-layered lamination, made of 3 parts: durable and self-gripping and polyamide layer, off-loading EVA foam and polyamide 3D spacer material. The external part is used to attach hard components. EVA foam off-loads these splints and the internal 3D spacer layer provides high air permeability and minimal water and moisture absorption. Waterproof material.

STIFFENINGS

Aluminum frame with rotating element

The hip frame is made of soft aluminum sheet connected to the arm stabilizer. The hip basket of the frame is equipped with a circumferential belt positioning the product on the patient's body, and the arm stabilizer is equipped with a splint that allows you to set the level of rotation of the upper limb in relation to the body. The frame is completely covered with a durable powder coating, neutral for the patient's skin.

PADDINGS

3D supports

3D relief supports are independent technical solutions to relieve the rigid elements of a given orthosis. These elements are made of supporting foams or EVA foam. These foams are connected with various types of skin-friendly materials and materials with an adhesive function. These pads have the appropriate shape and color adapted to the type of orthosis. They relieve both metal elements of orthoses, such as splints, stays, underwires and orthopedic drop locks, as well as other elements that should not come into direct contact with the patient's skin. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, guaranteeing the proper therapeutic effect.
