Product Description
Otoform Silicone Putty
Otoform Silicone Putty is an impression silicone used in the Podiatry market for moulding interdigital wedges, separators, dorsal toe protectors and orthodigital splints. It is a soft and easily kneadable impression material, which when used with the 'catalyst hardening paste' achieves a putty-like consistency. Originally developed for audiology, Otoform has found a significant place in Podiatry due to its unique properties that make it ideal for capturing detailed impressions of the foot.
It remains in this form for a period of time ranging from 1-5 minutes. During which, the practitioner can fabricate a device into shape before setting begins.
The non-greasy formula is particularly pleasant to handle and popular with patients.
Otoform Characteristics:
1. Silicone-Based: Otoform is a two-component, addition-curing silicone material.
2. Medium Viscosity: It has a medium consistency, making it easy to handle and manipulate during the impression-taking process.
3. High Precision: The material is known for its ability to capture fine details, providing accurate impressions.
4. Biocompatible: It is safe for use on the skin and within the ear canal, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or irritation.

Podiatry Applications
Treatment of Foot Deformities and Conditions
Otoform is also employed in the management and treatment of various foot deformities and conditions. For patients with conditions like hammer toes, bunions, or diabetic foot ulcers, custom orthotic devices created using Otoform can help redistribute pressure away from vulnerable areas, preventing further complications and promoting healing. The material’s ability to create a snug, comfortable fit ensures that the resulting devices do not cause additional irritation or discomfort.
Padding and Cushioning Solutions
Otoform is used to create padding and cushioning solutions tailored to individual patients. For example, Otoform can be moulded to create custom toe spacers, metatarsal pads, or heel lifts that address specific issues such as corns, calluses, or plantar fasciitis. These custom solutions provide targeted relief and can significantly improve a patient’s comfort and mobility.
