Globotech starflex™
Back to: Index

The Starflex™ orthotic blank is
a polyester resin, reinforced with glass fibre threads. Its great
advantage lies in its varying thickness, which gives it strength,
flexibility and lightness. This results in a very high rate of patient
tolerance and satisfaction.
Starflex becomes pliable after immersion in boiling
water. Our carefully designed "STAR-CAST" casting system
means the Starflex™ can be moulded directly to the foot.
Starflex will make the basis of a very strong yet thin and lightweight
foot orthotic.
Features
- Available pre-cut to size and moulded to approximate shape,
thus saving time and avoiding wastage when using sheets
- Unbreakable, made from Fibre Glass Reinforced Resin which has
been toxicologically tested and conforms even to the food industry
requirements
- Differing thickness gives greatest support exactly where it
is needed. The longitudinal arch is only 3.1 - 3.5mm thick and
the (flexible) heel about 1.0mm
- When heated to 100 Degrees for 15 Seconds in an oven or in boiling
water, they can be moulded easily to suit. (Do NOT heat over 150
Deg.)
- A heat gun can also be used for 20-40 seconds. If discolouration
occurs this will not affect the performance
- Grinding and cutting is simple using an emery paper of Grit
Size 60
- A 'posting' can be applied simply using any adhesive. Suitable
as the Base for a full insole, by using a Lining
