The
Starflex orthotic blank range
The Starflex™ orthotic blank is a polyester resin, reinforced
with glass fibre threads. Its great advantage lies in its varying thickness,
which gives it strength, flexibility and lightness. This results in
a very high rate of patient tolerance and satisfaction.
Starflex becomes pliable after immersion in boiling water. Our carefully
designed "STAR-CAST" casting system means the Starflex can be moulded
directly to the foot.
Starflex will make the basis of a very strong yet thin and lightweight
foot orthotic.
