Aortha PE500 HDPE Sheet for Orthotic Fabrication

Aortha PE500 is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheet designed for orthotic and prosthetic fabrication. This lightweight material offers excellent rigidity and durability, making it ideal for producing strong, supportive orthoses.

With little to no memory, PE500 maintains its moulded shape after forming, providing consistent structural performance. It is often used in combination with reinforcement to ensure long-term shape retention in demanding clinical applications.

Key Features

• High-density polyethylene (HDPE) orthotic sheet
• Lightweight material with tough, rigid performance
• Very low memory for stable shape retention
• Excellent impact and flexural strength
• Press moulded for consistent quality
• Typical thermoforming temperature: 160–185°C

Applications

Aortha PE500 is widely used in orthotic workshops for the fabrication of AFOs (ankle foot orthoses), KAFOs (knee ankle foot orthoses), foot orthoses and body jackets. Its rigidity and strength make it particularly suitable for devices requiring structural support and durability.

The material is ideal for orthotists and technicians who need a reliable thermoplastic for producing strong, long-lasting orthoses for a wide range of patients and clinical requirements.
