TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) orthotics are a type of orthotic device made from a flexible and elastic material known as TPU. TPU is a durable thermoplastic polymer that offers a unique combination of properties, making it well-suited for orthotic applications.

TPU orthotics provide several benefits:

  • Flexibility and Elasticity

    TPU material offers flexibility and elasticity, allowing the orthotic to adapt and conform to the contours of the foot. This flexibility enables a more comfortable fit and accommodates the natural movement of the foot.
  • Durability

    TPU is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. This durability ensures that TPU orthotics can withstand daily use and maintain their shape and effectiveness over time.
  • Impact Absorption

    TPU has excellent shock absorption properties, providing cushioning and reducing the impact forces experienced during walking or physical activities. This feature helps alleviate discomfort and reduce the risk of injuries.
  • Lightweight and Thin Profile

    TPU orthotics tend to be lightweight and have a thin profile, making them less bulky and more comfortable to wear inside various types of footwear.
  • Moisture Resistance

    TPU material is resistant to moisture and can withstand exposure to water, sweat, and other fluids, ensuring longevity and hygiene of the orthotic.

TPU orthotics are suitable for individuals with different foot conditions and requirements. They can be customised and designed to address specific biomechanical needs, such as arch support, alignment correction, or pressure redistribution.

Overall, TPU orthotics offer a balance of flexibility, durability, and impact absorption, providing comfort and support for individuals seeking orthotic solutions.
