ADVANTAGES
• Consistent
• Quick process
• Positive Model Vacuum-formed

DISADVANTAGE
• No custom contours

If the Redimold fabrication method is preferred, Kevin Orthopedic offers a Redimold system consisting of 33 different positive models that can be vacuum formed with nearly any orthotic frame material. The benefits of using this system include less clinical skill needed for casting, produces consistent orthotic frames, and ease of ordering and reordering, as the lab stores the patient’s order specifications indefinitely and no patient impression needing to be submitted. Many modifications can be added to the orthotic such as rearfoot posts, flanges, padding and accommodation modifications etc. The drawback of this fabrication method is the lack of customized frame contours due to a prefabricated mold being used to vacuum form the frame instead of a patient’s impression.
