Handmade Casted Custom Orthoses

Handmade Manufacturing Procedures

At PPL we manufacture a wide range of truly handmade custom orthoses using plaster modification techniques. We allow total flexibility in the customisation of your devices whilst also offering our expert advice. We create a plaster mould from a cast or foam box which you send us along with a completed prescription form. All devices are individually designed and hand finished to your requirements. We assume that all casts are taken in subtalar neutral position unless otherwise informed.

The modification procedures that we employ to adapt our casts/scans are a variation on the Blake and Modified Root techniques. Our plaster modification techniques have been perfected over the course of the past twenty years and we pride ourselves on a high level of excellence in this area. These procedures are tailored to the particular type of shell that you have chosen for your patient.
