CASTING PILLOW

Main features:

  • Direct mould to patient’s foot
  • Provides perfect casting for weight bearing foot
  • Helps maintain proper alignment when casting with STS copy socks
  • Perfect for direct moulding of orthotics
  • Durable, slow-recovery foam may be cleaned with soap and water or damp cloth
  • Consistent results every time

Casting Pillows from Algeos are designed to create an accurate and reproducible model of the foot. The unique pillow shape and density allows the uncompensated foot to be suspended while maintaining neutral subtalar joint alignment as it bears load. This produces a foot model that requires little if any modification in the lab. The pillow contours as its slow-recovery foam allows the rear-foot and mid-foot to be suspended, effectively enveloping the foot without the potential for ground reactive forces to cause distortion.

The memory foam material gently compresses the soft tissue at the heel and mid-foot while the forefoot is allowed to splay naturally, as it does under normal load. With the subtalar joint in neutral the thinner memory foam layer under the ball of the foot and toe area will capture the forefoot plane as neutral unless there is a rigid forefoot varus or valgus present.

CASTING

The pillows are designed utilising a slow-recovery foam with a smooth durable exterior surface. The pillow surface can be cleaned with soap and water, disinfectant spray or simply brushed.

Plaster of paris, STS® socks and thermal moldable insoles will not stick to the surface.
