For the construction of orthoses we offer different silicones (see product list below).
Primus inter pares is our Erkoton 20/30. |
| |
Dependent on the material´s hardness individual silicone orthoses made of Erkoton 20/30 are used for pressure protection (clavus interdigital) or for correcting effects (between toe chock for hallux valgus). The Erkoton orthoses inhibit inflammations and contribute to getting painless.
Applications fields are
|
| |
- hammer-, claw- or rider toes
- hallux valgus
- deformation with emphasis on toes 2 – 5, mostly occur in combination with flat foot, splayfoot or clawfoot
- tender spots (clavus interdigital)
- menacing contraction of ankles
- general aching when walking
|
| |
These orthoses have the following special features: |
| |
- individual fit
- different hardness for divers applications
- Erkoton 20/30 can be grinded
- Erkoton 30 used for a between toe chock corrects deformation of the big toe and pushes it into normal position
- very comfortable to wear due to perfect fit

Orthoses of Erkoton 20/30 are soft, flexible parts of silicone which are individually produced according to a patient´s deformation.
In addition these orthoses can further be adjusted by grinding with Lisko polishing discs.
Silicone orthoses made of Erkoton 20/30 are washable and easy to clean with commercial desinfection means.
Erkoton 20/30 is a very dense material, thus dirt or bacteria cannot settle.
It is not possible to stick with Erkoton 20/30.
Erkoton 20/30 has been developed not to be dependent on a carrier material. |

The steps are as follows: |
| |
- Mixing:
- hardener material (grey) and base material (brown) are to mix in equal parts
- by mixing a homogeneous color of the mixture is to be achieved
- mixing time is max. 30 sec.
- Shaping:
- the material is to shape to the foot of the patient
- in case do support the position of the material until it has binded (after about 2 min)
- Taking off:
- after about 8 –10 min. you can take off the silicone orthose from the foot
- Treatment:
- after 15 min. you can treat the orthose with scissors or grinder
- Check:
