CG THIN and CG DRESS

Our CG THIN and CG DRESS were created for the patient needing a thin, yet rigid device. You have your choice of 2 composite materials: DBX6® (“Superglass”) and Delrin AF.

Delrin AF: A thermo-polymer with the strength, stiffness, dimensional stability, impact resistance, & wear resistance of industrial metals. Its compact density and high tensile strength produce an ultra thin orthotic for any patient. Features include:
Super Thin - 2 mm of Delrin AF can firmly support 250+ lbs.
Unlimited choices of control levels from semi-flexible to very rigid
Can be intrinsically posted in the rearfoot for an even slimmer shoe fit
Easily adjusted with heat
No cracking, splintering, or breakage Attractive, glass-like appearance

Superglass*: A multi layered composite with graphite reinforcements, it offers better functional control with a slimmer profile than traditional graphite/acrylic products such as TL materials and Carboplast. Balanced for frontal-plane motion control for side-to-side activities and high impact sports. The “Superglass” has Elastic Memory TM so that it can be easily spot-heated for in-office adjustments. *Pressed from digitally milled positives

CG DRESS has an hour-glass shape through the last, a slightly slimmer forefoot, and pitched for heel-height differential for a truly comfortable fit in a woman’s dress shoe.

Design Features:

12mm heel cup on the CG Thin
5mm heel cup on CG Dress posted intrinsically
Met length vinyl topcoper (sulcus on CG Dress)

Application:

Rigid, biomechanical control and foot stabilization. Can be used for obese patients needing a slim fit.

Therapy :

Used for biomechanical problems such as pronation, forefoot and rearfoot varus or valgus, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, metatarsagia, and midtarsal joint function limitations. The CG Dress has been very successful in relieving the painful pressure from bunions in patients that must wear high heeled shoes.

Recommended Level of Control:

VERY RIGID
RIGID
SEMI RIGID

Warranty:

Footplate: Lifetime on Delrin,Two year on Superglass, six months on topcovers.

STILL GROWING

Earthwalk takes children’s orthotics very seriously, and is proud to offer their Still Growing line of functional orthoses for children. We have addressed four areas that we feel are in the special interests of children:

► Quality -- All of our Still Growing orthotics are manufactured with the same high level of design and accuracy as our adult devices. AMOS allows us to create superior fit and correction.

►Comfort – As in all cases, orthotic devices only work if the patient is willing to wear them. Children will find that Still Growing orthotics are more adaptable and be more likely to keep them in their shoes.

►Durability – Still Growing styles won’t break, come apart, or separate from the heelpost. The topcovers won’t slip, shift, or tear. They are water resistant, oil and dirt retardant, and have a non-slip surface.

►Economy – A child’s foot goes through many stages of development and may require several pairs of orthotics before reaching maturity. This can be a financial burden on a family and, in some cases, prohibit a child from getting the needed appliances. All Still Growing styles are flat rate priced at $60.00. An Earthwalk Outgrow Program will accompany each pair, giving the family the opportunity to prepay for those additional pairs at $70.00 until the child is full grown.
