 | Multicast Standard - Foam Coated Surface
Multicast Standard is a low temperature thermoplastic material bonded with a 0.6mm 'furry' foam layer. The characteristic advantage of the foam coating is that the thermoplastic does not stick to itself in hot water, thus
sizable surfaces can be put in a small hot water container and the material is easier to work with.
The foam coating also creates a minute layer of air between the patient's skin and the thermoplastic, reducing
the possibility of skin chafing. Due to Multicast Standard’s exceptional anatomical properties, when heated the material follows the exact contours of the treated surface.
The material can be heated in the following ways:
- Water (from 70°C)
- Steam (from 90°C)
- Dry Heat (from 150°C)
- Heat Gun
- Heating Plate
The material can be moulded after 2 minutes of heating at 70°C or 1 minute heating at 75°C. |

| | Multicast Rigid - Smooth Surface
Multicast Rigid is a strong low-temperature thermoplastic material that follows the exact contours of the treated
surface. After processing it transforms into a hard splint. It does not need reinforcing, it is rigid, light-weight and does not shrink. Due to its heavy plastic memory, the material can be reheated and remoulded.
Charateristics of Multicast Rigid:
- Extra rigidity
- Extra strength
- Possibility of vertical (anti gravity) positioning
- Recommended for orthoses with large surface
The material can be heated using the same methods as the Multicast Standard.
The material can be moulded after 2 minutes of heating at 60°C or 1 minute heating at 65°C. |

| | Multicast Ortho - Smooth Surface
Multicast Ortho is a low-temperature thermoplastic with enhanced processing characterisitics such as transparency and maximum drape.
Characteristics of multicast Ortho:
- Turns clear when heated
- Maximum drape
- Possibility of vertical (anti gravity) positioning
- Bonds without need for solvents
- Resists fingerprints and other pressure marks
The material can be heated using the same methods as the Multicast Standard.
The material can be moulded after 2 minutes of heating at 60°C or 1 minute heating at 65°C.

| | Vitrathene
This low denisty press moulded Polyethylene is mouldable at 160 - 180°c. Applications include: spinal and upper extremity orthotics, arch supports etc. |
|
| | Polyethylene
Extruded low density sheets which are mouldable at 130°c. Applications include: AFO's, body jackets, braces, luner socks and splints. |
|
| | Madrilen 500
High molecular weight Polythene which is press moulded and has good flexural strength. Is mouldable at 160 - 180°c. |
|
| | Madrilen 1000
Ultra High Molecular weight Polythene. This press moulded, very rigid material is mouldable at 160 -180°c. |
|
| | Copolymer Polypropylene
The ability of Polypropylene to yeild pressure and torque, yet consistently return to its form without fatiguing, has eliminated distortionin many orthoses. Very popular, as it is economically priced, this material is used for practically all orthotic applications. Mouldable at 180 - 200°c. |
|
| | Homopolymer Polypropylene
Pure polypropylene. Gives higher rigidity in thin applications, but means it is more brittle when stressed. Mouldable at 180 - 200°c. |
|
| | Surlyn
Surlyn is an Ethylene Methacrylic Co-Polymer. It is a transparent mixture of low density Polythene and metallic acrylates. It is used in upper and lower extremity orthotics, body jackets and flexible orthotic socks. Mouldable at 180 - 190°c. |
|
| | Proflex
Proflex is an extruded ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA). It is an inherently flexible cushioning material that is thermoformed to produce elastic suction sockets in artifical limbs. Mouldable at 165 - 175°c. |
|
|
| | Leather Board
High quality and distictively leather-like in appearance. |
