subject: Wholesale Slippers [print this page] The method of creating a custom molded foot impression of the present invention is comprised, briefly, of the steps of mounting an elastic resin-impregnated impression wholesale slippers over a patient's foot, the slipper having an arch strap attached toone of a medial side and a lateral side of the slipper (preferably the medial side); pulling the slipper up into contact with the patient's arch; while the slipper is in contact with the patient's arch, fastening the arch strap to the other of the medialside and the lateral side of the slipper to maintain the slipper in contact with the patient's arch; manipulating the patient's foot to achieve a desired orientation; and hardening the resin in the wholesale slippers while the patient's foot is in the desiredorientation.
The hardened wholesale slippers impression can then be sent to a separate lab for formation of a foot orthotic from the hardened slipper, through scanning or formation of positives. The same slipper can be used to form a plurality of positive casts sincethe hardened resin and fabric will not be destroyed, as is the case with plaster of paris casts, if the slipper is cut to release the positive. Hardened slipper 23 may be cut by making a first downward cut in the area of the back of the heel 47 to theplantar aspect of the heel 29 and a second cut starting proximate the anterior opening of the wholesale slippers directed toward the middle toe area and ending proximate to the colored stitch line 20. The hardened slipper can then be bent in medial and lateraldirections outwardly to release a hardened positive casting inside the slipper. It is a simple matter to bend the hardened slipper back together and secure it for manufacture of subsequent positive casts.
Once the impression wholesale slippers have hardened, it can be removed from the patient's foot by releasing the arch strap by pulling upwardly. Hooks in strap 39 at ends 41 and 43 will be cast into the slipper fabric, but the hooks will break offrelatively easily to allow the arch strap 39 to be pulled off to release end 43 of the strap. The technician can then simply pull gently down in the area of the heel, while the patient wiggles his or her toes. The relatively low-cut position of openend 33 on the dorsum will facilitate removal of hardened slipper 23 without the need for cutting of the impression slipper.
