Pressure distribution silicone gel plate - Epithelium 26 - EPITACT

Epithelium 26 ^® EPITACT silicone gel plate

This material is the subject of a patent: “The Substitute for the plantar pad”. It reproduces the mechanical (viscoelastic) properties of the healthy human plantar pad.

• Its thickness of 2.2 mm is sufficient to effectively distribute loads without creating instabilities.
• Its long lifespan allows integration into orthotics (several months).
• Low loss of thickness and mechanical characteristics over time compared to foam.
• Covered with fabric on both sides, Epithelium 26 ^® is easy to use (cutting with scissors, Neoprene ^® bonding or iron-on bonding).

DESCRIPTION
Plate made of a 2.2mm thick pressure-distributing silicone gel embedded between two polyamide/elastane fabrics.

USE
Pressure distribution material to be integrated into plantar orthoses (cannot be sanded).

BENEFITS
Plates made of EPITHELIUM 26® are biocompatible non-adhesive silicone gel devices doubly bonded to tissue. They are soft and elastic. EPITHELIUM 26® is presented as a resistant gel, which distributes plantar pressure mainly under the forefoot.
This silicone gel does not lose its mechanical properties over time.

IMPLEMENTATION
- Cut the module into the desired shape by beveling the edges using scissors.
- Glue it to the desired area of ​​your foot orthosis with neoprene glue or by heat-sealing on resin.
- Apply your covering to the sole.

COMPOSITION
84% silicone, 16% polyamide/elastane fabric.

INTERVIEW
The material is machine washable at 30°C.

PRESENTATION
Plate measuring 20 cm x 20 cm.
