Therrox Comfort Felt consists of two layers of fibre needled together. The structure at the bottom is vacuumed into a hardened shape, heat moulded around plaster cast, and is adapted by an expert to obtain therapeutically effected support relief. The top layer is shock absorbent, and the surface in contact with the skin and textiles is pleasantly soft and warm.

Therrox Comfort keeps the foot warm and removes moisture, therefore ideal for diabetics.

1. Place the Therrox Comfort in a pre-heated oven between 145° & 210° for 3 to 7minites
   (please refer to temperature guide), with the dark side facing down.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Remove the Therrox Comfort from the oven and place into a vacuum press over the plaster cast, with the dark side facing down.
   
   
3. When the Therrox is in place, close the top of the vacuum and vacuum the Therrox over the plaster cast, leaving it for approximately 5 minutes to cool down.
   
   
   
   
   
4. When the Therrox has cooled down, remove from the vacuum and the plaster cast. The Therrox Comfort is able to be trimmed straight away.
   

   The table below shows the connection between temperature, time, hardness and thickness of Therrox Comfort when heated in a calibrated oven. Therrox Comfort can be ready for cutting after approximately 5 minutes cooling in the vacuum press.

   
   
5. Trim the Therrox insole using a band saw or Stanley knife until you have removed all the excess material down to the insole edge required.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Then using a two speed scouring machine, set the machine on low speed to reduce heat caused by friction, resulting in the Therrox melting.
   
   
7. Scourer the Therrox to the required shape by using a course scourering wheel, to remove the material with minimum friction. Best results can be achieved using a silicium carbide 24 grit paper.
   
   
   
   
   
8. When finishing Therrox Comfort use a slow speed machine and press gently to avoid melting, after shaping use a wire or synthetic wheel to hone the fibres back to their natural shape
