Who Can Use the Carbon Fibre Orthotic Foot Plate?

The Rigid Foot Plate is designed specifically for use by podiatrists and healthcare professionals when building a custom foot orthosis. The foot plate can be combined with other materials to offer the patient a custom orthotic or surgical shoe that will limit motion to assist with the treatment of such conditions as turf toe (hallux rigidus).

What's the Benefit of a Carbon and Glass Fibre Plate?

The NRG Flat Foot Orthosis Plate is manufactured from a high-strength blend of carbon fibre and glass fibre. This blend of materials offers high resilience, keeping its shape even after frequent use in high loading applications. 

How Customisable Is the NRG Flat Plate?

Designed to be used alongside other materials to create a flat or low-heeled foot orthotic or surgical shoe, the NRG Flat Foot Plate is highly customisable. It is easy to bond using conventional adhesives, and is also easy to fit and finish.
