This, coupled with our expertise in manufacturing processes and techniques, enables us to provide superior solutions that prioritize optimal patient comfort and satisfaction.
Padding, Cushioning & Lining
Polyurethane (PU) foam
Light weight, open-cell foams with excellent resiliency, chemical resistance & hygroscopicity, and when heated to suitable temperatures, are moldable. Retains its form stability and returns to its original or close to original shape, even after permanent load. Breathable and wicks moisture away from the skin. Excellent for cushioning.
Applications
- Positioning devices
- Pressure relief devices
- Fixation devices
- Cushioning for wheelchair, surgical helmets and headrests
Methods of Manufacturing
- Die-cut, Thermoforming, Reaction Injection Molding, Lamination and Coating
Micro-cellur Polyurethane (PU) foam
PU foams with dense, open-cell, thermosetting structures that are non-heat moldable. Stable in form, elastic, shock-absorbing, odorless, and washable. Provides one of the highest degrees of shock absorption. Retains its form stability and returns to its original or close to original shape, even after permanent load. Breathable and wicks moisture away from the skin.
Applications
- Orthotic & prosthetic arch support and high impact applications
- Positioning devices
- Pressure relief devices
Methods of Manufacturing
- Die-cut, Thermoforming, Reaction Injection Molding, Lamination and Coating
Polyethylene (PE) foam
Closed-cell foams that are nontoxic, resistant to chemicals and fluids, lightweight, strong and durable with excellent shock absorption and moisture resistance. When heated to suitable temperatures, they are moldable. Tendency to permanently compress or “bottom out” over time under load. Readily washable and discourage bacteria growth.
Applications
- Total-contact orthoses
- Prosthetic liners
- Wheelchair seating systems
- Compression garments
Methods of Manufacturing
- Die-cut, Thermoforming, Reaction Injection Molding, Lamination and Coating
Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) foam
Foams with closed-cell co-polymer (ethylene and vinyl acetate) structures that are similar to PE foam however softer, more resilient and elastic. Have slightly higher compression set compared to PE foams and may take longer to fully recover after being compressed.
Applications
- Insoles, top and bottom covers, wedges, cushioning material, and shell material for accommodative and functional orthoses
Methods of Manufacturing
- Die-cut, Thermoforming, Reaction Injection Molding, Lamination and Coating
