XT Silverdot Carbon Blanks for Foot Orthotics

Product Description

XT Silverdot Carbon Composite Orthotic Blanks
for Foot Orthotic Production

The XT Carbon Composite range of materials are used for moulded ‘functional foot orthotics’ when full control is required. This rigid material is manufactured from carbon fibre composite and polypropylene, which helps provide you with a strong, lightweight and rigid orthotic.

Carbon composites offer a superior alternative to the heavy steel sole plates traditionally used in surgical shoe manufacture.

• Carbon composites offer a range of control in 5 thicknesses - each with own level of flexibility.
• No creep, relaxing or bottoming out.
• Used for deep heel cups needing directional support.
• Can be re-heated and re-moulded
• Easy to machine and finish.

High Perfomance Carbon Composite Blanks

• Composite structure for thinness and high strength
• Unique resin formulated for high resistance to cracking, impact and fatigue
• No creep, relaxing or bottoming out
• Superior recoil and spring characteristics
• Blank sizing allows for deep heel cups and directional rigidity for greater foot control
