Product description

A viscous, polycondensed, fluid-like podiatric silicone, used to create special orthoses and orthoplastic devices for the foot in combination with textile supports such as tubular foam bandages, bandages and gauze. Its fluid consistency allows the fabric to be impregnated. Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, it produces ultra-thin, flexible yet durable orthoses, suitable for situations where a paste-like silicone would be too thick.

For the manufacture of hallux valgus protectors, glove-style orthoses for the toes, metatarsal pads and other specialised orthoses.

It is also particularly suitable for making self-modelling orthoses for use whilst walking.

It cures at room temperature with the gel catalyst and achieves a final Shore A hardness of 10.

How to use

How to use fluid podiatric silicone?

Preparation of the fabric backing, catalysis and curing times for producing thin and flexible orthoses.

Steps

Preparing the textile backing: Cut the tubular fabric or gauze to the shape of the orthosis to be made.
Measuring out the silicone: Put on protective gloves and pour the required amount of silicone onto silicone-coated paper or a plastic sheet.
Add the catalyst: Add the gel catalyst.
Impregnate the fabric: Knead the silicone thoroughly together with the fabric base until it is completely saturated.
Apply and shape: Apply the impregnated fabric to the affected area, shape the orthosis and cover it with a plastic film.
Finishing: After removal, wait for about 10 minutes before cutting and finishing the orthosis.
Wait for complete curing.: Curing is complete after 24 hours. Only then can the patient start wearing the orthosis.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between liquid silicone and silicone paste?

Liquid silicone is used by soaking tubular materials, bandages or gauze, and enables the production of very thin and flexible orthoses. Silicone paste is moulded directly onto the affected area and produces thicker orthoses in a range of hardnesses.

For which orthoses is it recommended?

For hallux valgus supports, finger-sleeve orthoses, metatarsal pads and other specialised orthoses where a reduced thickness is required.

What type of surface should it be used on?

On baking paper or on a plastic sheet.

How long does it take before the orthosis can be fitted?

Approximately 10 minutes after removal. Full curing takes place after 24 hours.

Can it be mixed with A+B two-component silicones?

No. Catalyst-cured polycondensation silicones cannot be mixed with A+B polyaddition silicones.
