Overview
Plate/Insole are ground to the general shape of the shoe insole and is used to immobilise an area of the foot without immobilising the ankle.
At Orthotech, we hand-make all plates/insole in the lab. These are used to treat osteoarthritis, metatarsalgia, long term navicular fractures, hallux rigidus and hallux limitus.
Shell Material
You have a choice of all of our shell materials (except 3D print).
Sizing
We have three options for sizing; Shoe Size, measurements or attaching an image. Please note that we do not accept scans for plates/insoles.
Shoe Size (US): Type in the US shoe size, and we will use our templates for the size. Please note that there is no universal sizing for shoe sizes. Use measurements or attach an image if you require it to be exact.
Measurements: View the image supplied and fill out the measurements.
Heel Width (Blue Line), Forefoot Width (Red Line) and Length (Yellow).
Attached Image: Send us a scanned, photographed or faxed image with measurements. Please note that scanned, photographed or faxed images provided on paper will rarely be to scale and lab discretion will be required unless measurements are included in the image.
A Reverse Engineer is when you require an orthotic that was not manufactured at Orthotech Laboratory to be duplicated. To do so, we require the orthotic to be sent to the lab. During the process of the Reverse Engineer, we remove the covers of the existing orthotic, the re-cover is included in the Reverse Engineer price. Because of the manual process of a Reverse Engineer, express or return required is not available.

Please Note: We suggest using this form when re-ordering or writing in the Notes For Lab Staff that it is a re-order if you are sending it via prescriptions@orthotech.com.au. If there is no mention of the prescription form and scans being a re-order; we will treat it as a new order and create the CAD from scratch. Therefore, the CAD could differ. We strive to ensure CAD is very similar, no matter who does it. However, it is a very manual process, so there will be slight differences, especially over the years due to updates and training.
