PATIENT SELECTION

Lightweight Molds

Patients who are deemed to be poor candidates for biomechanical control because of congenital malformations, restriction or lack of foot and leg motions.

BIOMECHANICAL INDICATIONS

• Diabetes
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Motion - restricting bony blocks

CONTROL
Significantly less control of abnormal motions. Increased shock absorption and protection of tissues against pressure and impact.

LIGHTWEIGHT MOLDS

Korex Molds

When greater flexibility and compression is required.
Constructed of Poron^TM, a soft material with excellent protective and shock absorption properties, durable yet lightweight. It is adhered and shaped to the contours of the fully flexible, individually thermoformed plastic shell. The Vinyl cover for the standard Lightweight Mold ends at the metatarsal heads. Photo illustrates an optional 1/8" extension to the toes.

KOREX^TM MOLDS
Constructed of layers of Korex, laminated to a thin thermoformed plastic shell, the Korex Mold offers the most support of our Mold orthotics. Use for patients with diminished ranges of motion. Extensions to the sulcus or toes are optional.
