PLASTAZOTE®: The Medical Industry’s "Gold Standard" for Diabetic Footcare
Introduction In the fields of diabetic footcare and orthotics, PLASTAZOTE® closed-cell polyethylene foam is universally recognized as the industry’s "Gold Standard." As a pure, lightweight, and bio-inert material, it addresses the most demanding foot health requirements for sensitive populations. Aybroad incorporates the original PLASTAZOTE® series to provide the most reliable protective barrier for the premium medical insole market.
Material Characteristics: Absolute Purity & Pressure Dissipation
PLASTAZOTE® is manufactured using a unique nitrogen-infusion physical foaming process, free from chemical blowing agents or residues. This ensures an extremely low risk of allergic reaction, making it safe for direct contact with damaged or sensitive skin. Its closed-cell structure is non-absorbent and provides superior isotropic support. Under load, it redistributes pressure like a fluid, effectively eliminating localized "Pressure Points"—a critical factor in preventing diabetic foot ulcers.
Aybroad’s Engineering Edge: Thermoforming & Layered Composites
The core value of PLASTAZOTE® lies in its exceptional thermoforming capabilities:
-
Precision Contouring: Aybroad utilizes precise heating techniques (between 110°C - 140°C) to achieve a 1:1 anatomical fit based on patient-specific foot molds.
-
Multi-Layer Composite Solutions: We typically utilize PLASTAZOTE® as the skin-contact top layer, bonded to high-support EVA or PU bases. Aybroad employs an odorless, medical-grade bonding process that ensures structural integrity without compromising bio-safety. Our offerings—including LD (Low Density), HD (High Density), and Anti-static versions—meet needs ranging from daily care to professional rehabilitation.
Applications & Market Value
Targeting medical distributors, senior footwear brands, and orthotic clinics, Aybroad’s PLASTAZOTE® solutions align with EU medical device standards and serve as a cornerstone for brands looking to enhance their "Medical Professionalism."
