Thermoplastics and accessories 114 Thermoplastics and accessories Thermoplastics and accessories Thermoplastic sheets have played an important role in the entire development of orthopedic technology. By changing the material properties and adapting them to the requirements and working possibilities found in technical orthopedics, the number of application fields for thermoplastic sheet materials increases. The group of polyethylenes (PE) and polypropylenes (PP) are particularly well suited to the construction of prostheses and orthoses. These materials are particularly light, recognized as physiologically safe and have durable, functional applications in orthopedic technology. The market can also expect to see increased use of transparent copolyesters (PETG) – particularly in the manufacture of self-supporting test sockets. The reason for this lies in its excellent vacuum-forming properties.

The polypropylene copolymer (PP-C) obtained in this way shows a considerably increased impact strength in comparison with a polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H), especially at low temperatures. The PP copolymer can be excellently thermoformed as well as heat-sealed and is ideal for drawing and laying it around orthotic joints. Advantages at a glance Lamination technique Silicones • • • • • Low weight Good rigidity High impact strength Little tendency to white fracture Little shrinkage Fields of Application PU Resin Kit Polytol® ThermoLyn® Polypropylene Copolymer 616T120 allows for multiple applications such as: • AFO’s (Ankle Foot Orthoses) • KAFO’s (Knee Ankle Foot Orthoses) • FFO’s (Functional Foot Orthoses) Thermoplastics Water transfer printing The processing temperature is 185 ºC / 365 °F for convection and infrared ovens or 215 ºC / 419 °F for heating plates. Thermopaper can be used to give the ThermoLyn® Polypropylene Copolymer an appealing design. You can find a selection of designs for children, teenagers and adults on page 118 of this catalog. The new ThermoLyn® PP Copolymer is particularly appropriate if you require increased impact strength as well as good thermoforming properties. 646S1=14.06GB Order no.

The Thermoprepregs consist of thermoplastic (PE or PP) with unidirectional endless glass fiber threads (see illustration). The glass fiber rovings are blended into the cover layers of the section and unevenly distributed along either side. The heat-weldable side contains a higher proportion of fibers than the opposite side to counteract distortion of the plastic sheet material. This side can be easily recognized by its 2-mm edge radius and “Otto Bock” logo. In combination with the appropriate thermoplastic sheets, these Thermoprepregs can be incorporated into a custom orthosis in a single fabrication process. They provide partial reinforcement of the orthosis for optimal fitting. Furthermore, the non-reinforced areas can be shaped as needed, while also avoiding any distortion of parts. 646A230=GB 647H468 Thermoplastic heat reservoir Glass roving Thermoplastics top (weldable side) Lower side Sectional view of thermoplastic prepreg Article number 617R11=PE To be used for PE=Polyethylene PP-C=PP Copolymer 617R11=PP* PP=Polypropylene Width × Height × Length 20 × 3 × 1,200 mm 20 × 3 × 1,200 mm 20 × 3 × 1,200 mm * Can be used together with ThermoLyn® Polypropylene Copolymer 616T120.

Its extremely high impact strength and excellent vacuum-forming characteristics make this material an ideal partner for many applications in orthopedic technology. Function and Effects 616T183 ThermoLyn® PETG clear is used as first layer in definitive sockets, for example within the scope of a Harmony® fitting. The Harmony® System is an active volume management system for transtibial prostheses. It effectively reduces the air between socket and liner, a process in which a pump and a one-way valve create a vacuum. With every step the system is activated and maintains the required vacuum within a defined range. For this purpose, an airtight connec- tion between the socket and the residual limb of the prosthesis wearer, or the liner, is required. ThermoLyn® PETG clear contributes to this sealing which, in turn, results in increased adhesion of the socket. Since the material is flush with the upper socket brim, the friction between the residual limb of the prosthesis wearer and the socket is reduced, thus putting less stress on the liner. Advantages at a glance • Very high impact strength • Excellent vacuum-forming characteristics • Especially in prosthetics: Greater safety due to outstanding socket adhesion ThermoLyn® is a registered trademark of Otto Bock. 122 Otto Bock HealthCare GmbH | Materials | www.ottobock.com Thermoplastics and accessories Infrared oven Preheat the infrared oven (e.g. 701E20) to 160 °C (320 °F): a) for residual limbs up to 21 cm: Clamp the 3-mm PETG into the 755X84= 260x8 frame, small (diameter 260) in combination with 755T4=360 and heat up for 2:45 min. b) for residual limbs from 21 cm long: Clamp the 5-mm PETG into the 755T4 =360 vacuum forming insert (diameter 360) and heat up for 4:10 min Convection oven Preheat the convection oven (e.g. 701E7) to 170 °C (338 °F): a) for residual limbs up to 21 cm: Clamp the 3-mm PETG into the 755X84= 260x8 frame, small (diameter 260) in combination with 755T4=360 and heat up for 12 min. b) for residual limbs from 21 cm long: Clamp the 5-mm PETG into the 755T4 =360 vacuum forming insert (diameter 360) and heat up for 13 min.
