The Foot Tech® Custom-Molded Orthotic System

The Foot Tech Custom-Molded Orthotic System (Mini-Lab) helps medical professionals treat most foot problems efficiently and profitably. The system allows medical professionals to achieve total control of patient treatment while fabricating a shock-absorbing, anatomically correct, direct-molded orthotic in less than 30 minutes, right in their facility. The system consists of an array of specially designed orthotic blanks, half-sole add-ons, a molding stand with specially designed impression pillows, a convection oven to heat the orthotic blanks, a grinder to produce a neat and consistent finished look to the orthotics, and various additional posting materials.

The Foot Tech Mini-Lab System allows the technician to fabricate problem-solving devices as well as achieve functional control through the selection of add-on materials of varying densities. Through the patented direct-molding process, the practitioner is able to capture the foot in its most functional position by suspending the patient's foot in a multi-density foam environment. This molding process allows the practitioner to simulate the foot's position in the mid-stance phase of the gait cycle, allowing the practitioner to control and/or correct alignment of the lower closed kinetic chain. Thus, the structural changes that take place between non-weight bearing and weight bearing (splaying, elongation, locking of the forefoot, etc.) are addressed while the foot's alignment is controlled. As a result, an effective orthotic can be formed quickly and easily, which provides an excellent device fulfilling the patient's biomechanical needs and achieving Dynamic Alignment™.

What makes the Foot Tech Mini-Lab System Unique:

• Total control of patient treatment
• Fast - custom orthotics in 30 minutes or less
• Accurate mold of foot
• Treats 80% of foot problems
• Flexibility for modification
• Excellent shock attenuation
