XStal Reinforcement Panels

Xstal reinforcement panels are the latest in technology for use in orthotic and prosthetic applications.

Parts and devices made from thermoplastic sheets, such as polypropylene part during the vacuum forming process. The result being a part with increased strength and stiffness, without having to raise the basic sheet thickness.

Benefits include:

- Graphite and glass fibres for maximum reinforcement
- Increases strength and stifness to local areas
- Polypropylene matrix to heat weld to polypropylene and copolymer materials
- Thin and lightweight
- Barrier film for safety and comfort
- Easily moulded to deep contours
- Can be adjusted with local heat
- Easily machined and finished

The panels are a result of a pateneted fibre reinforcement technology used in aerospace and provides high strength and stiffness, high torsional and oi8mpact resistance, as well as spring characteristics.
