Perlon Elastic Stockinette for Orthotic and Prosthetic Lamination

Perlon elastic stockinette is a high-performance lamination material used in orthotic and prosthetic fabrication. Made from a finely meshed, highly elastic knit, it conforms closely to complex shapes, providing a smooth and even surface during lamination processes.

Designed for use with a wide range of resins, Perlon stockinette ensures excellent saturation and helps create a clean, professional finish. It is commonly used as a finishing layer in socket fabrication, improving surface quality without adding bulk.

Key Features

• High-stretch Perlon stockinette (up to approx. 275% elasticity)
• Fine mesh structure for smooth lamination finishes
• Excellent resin compatibility and saturation
• Conforms easily to complex anatomical shapes
• Lightweight and easy to apply
• Ideal for orthotic and prosthetic fabrication

Applications

Perlon elastic stockinette is widely used in orthotic and prosthetic laboratories as part of the lamination process. It is typically applied as a finishing or outer layer to improve surface smoothness and appearance of sockets and orthoses.

Its high elasticity allows it to fit tightly over positive models, reducing wrinkles and ensuring consistent results in prosthetic socket fabrication and orthotic device production.
