CA 2232839

A method and apparatus for forming a foot orthotic is provided including a housing for an inflatable bladder. The bladder is inflated with a hand held compressible bulb. A heat softened orthotic blank is positioned between a patient's foot and the bladder which is inflated to conform the blank to the bottom surface of the foot. The shaped blank is allowed to cool to render it nondeformable at room temperature.

L'invention concerne une méthode et un appareil de formation d'une orthèse de pied comportant une enveloppe pour une chambre à air gonflable au moyen d'une poire comprimable tenue dans la main. Une ébauche orthopédique ramollie à la chaleur est placée entre le pied du patient et la chambre à air qui est gonflée de façon à conformer l'ébauche à la surface inférieure du pied. L'ébauche formée est ensuite refroidie afin qu'elle ne puisse pas se déformer à la température ambiante.
