EUROPLEX® O is a novel material for the manufacturing of orthopedic devices. The advantages can be summed up as follows:
- EUROPLEX® O is characterized by its excellent impact and notched impact strength as well as its rigidity. Insoles and other orthopaedic devices made from EUROPLEX® O are virtually unbreakable.
- EUROPLEX® O can be thermoformed from temperatures as low as 90°C without pre-drying. It is easy to machine and its shape can also be subsequently corrected by simple means.
- EUROPLEX® O is not attacked by perspiration and is generally highly resistant to chemicals.
- The relatively light inherent color of EUROPLEX® O makes orthopedic aids very unobtrusive to wear and enables pressure points to be easily identified during fitting.
- EUROPLEX® O shows very good X-ray transmission. That means there is no need to remove orthopaedic devices for this examination method.
- EUROPLEX® O is physiologically unobjectionable and has a perfectly smooth surface. It is therefore easy-care and hygienic.
