Orthopedic milling is a technology that requires high precision and meticulous craftsmanship and is used to make various orthotics, such as half-body orthotics. In these orthotics, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) blocks play a vital role. This guide will detail the features, advantages and applications of EVA blocks for orthopedic milling in orthopedic fabrication.
EVA Blocks for Orthotic Milling
1. Characteristics of EVA blocks
As a lightweight, soft and elastic material, EVA block has the following significant characteristics:
Comfort: The EVA block has excellent cushioning performance, which can effectively reduce the pressure on the feet when walking, providing users with all-weather comfort.
Durability: EVA material has good durability and can resist daily wear and tear, ensuring the longevity of orthopedic pads.
Ease of processing: EVA blocks are easy to process such as cutting and bending, adapting to the production needs of orthotics of different shapes and sizes.
2. Advantages of EVA blocks in orthopedic milling
In orthopedic milling, using EVA blocks has the following obvious advantages:
High precision: The EVA block has good plasticity and can be accurately shaped into the required shape and size during the milling process, ensuring the accuracy and fit of the orthosis.
Strong adaptability: The softness and elasticity of the EVA block allow it to adapt to different users’ foot shapes and walking habits, providing each user with a personalized orthopedic experience.
Easy to customize: EVA blocks can be customized according to users’ specific needs, including thickness, density, and hardness, etc., to meet the design requirements of different orthotics.
3. Application of EVA blocks in orthotics production
In the production of orthotics, EVA blocks are usually used as the main material of orthopedic pads. By combining a low-density EVA layer with a bottom hardened layer, an orthopedic pad can be created that is both comfortable and stable. This structural design can not only absorb shock and vibration when walking, but also maintain the overall stability of the orthopedic pad.
In addition, EVA blocks can also be used in combination with other materials (such as cloth, leather, etc.) to produce orthotics with more functions, such as orthopedic insoles with heat preservation function, orthopedic insoles with anti-slip function, etc.
4. Summary
EVA blocks for orthopedic milling play an important role in orthopedic fabrication due to their excellent comfort, durability and ease of processing. Through precise milling and individual customization, EVA blocks provide all-day orthopedic comfort for each user. In the future, with the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous expansion of the market, it is believed that EVA blocks will have broader application prospects in the field of orthosis production.
