Plantar Leather Base

LEATHER-LIKE PLANTAR BASE

The Leather-Like Plantar Base is a material made from EVA copolymers (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), widely used in the manufacture of plantar orthoses.

It is indicated for both the manufacture of corrective and functional insoles, where higher hardness provides a greater corrective effect and lower hardness provides greater comfort.

It is a hard, non-compressible material with a smooth finish, offering excellent mechanical resistance and stability, making it ideal for structural applications such as bases and postings. In addition, it is lightweight, washable, with low water absorption, easy to cut and glue, and can be heat molded, which facilitates its use in orthopedics and podiatry.
