NORTHPLEX

NORTHPLEX, the transparent thermoplastic that revolutionizes orthosis and prosthesis design.

This high-performance rigid thermoplastic material has been specifically developed for orthopaedic professionals, offering exceptional optical clarity combined with unparalleled mechanical strength. It is the ideal solution for applications requiring lightness, robustness, and precise visualization of the underlying tissues.

One of the main strengths of NORTHPLEX is its superior optical clarity. This material allows orthopaedic professionals to perform a rapid and precise visual inspection of the limb or underlying tissues without needing to remove the device.

Thanks to its unique composition, NORTHPLEX offers strength comparable to that of polycarbonate, making it an ultra-resistant choice for rigid applications. This maximum strength ensures the durability of the device against daily stresses, guaranteeing the safety and reliability of orthoses and prostheses in the long term.

Despite its robustness, NORTHPLEX is designed to be lightweight, thus contributing to the patient’s general comfort and promoting better compliance with device usage. For technicians, the material is easy to thermoform and work with, allowing for quick and precise shaping, which optimizes the manufacturing process and reduces delivery times.

The non-porous surface of NORTHPLEX makes it particularly hygienic. It is easy to clean and compatible with most standard disinfection protocols, ensuring simple and effective maintenance of the device throughout its lifespan.

Activation is performed at a standard temperature of 160°c with a heating time of 3 minutes per mm of thickness.

The product is delivered with a protective polyethylene film which must be removed before placing it in the oven.
