(Jasud supplies plastic sheets that are used to make the following items. The images give a clarification which sheet to order for your Orthotics & Prosthetics products.)
Applications
- They are mainly used for making various types of Foot Orthoses, Prosthetic Sockets, Upper and Lower Limb Orthoses and Corsets
Characteristics
- This range of sheets are extruded from prime specially blended grades of Polypropylene.
- They are lightweight, stiff, stable and have a high impact strength.
- They have a very good melt strength which results in even sagging upon heating resulting in a uniform thickness on the end product. Hence they are excellent for suction moulding applications. Due to this property there is no need to keep a stockinette underneath the sheet when kept for heating in an oven. A Teflon sheet is recommended so that impression of the oven tray does not get transferred onto the sheet when it melts.
- They are recommended for fabricating Weight bearing applications since they have a unique hinge ability which enables repeated flexing without fracturing.
- There is no stress whitening caused upon impact due to its special formulation.
- They are resistant to Human Sweat, Cosmetics, Skin Creams, Detergents and Disinfecting Solutions, this results in a longer life of the orthoses/prostheses.
