Herbitas Blanda A+B Soft Silicone Shore 3–5 – 2 x 200 g Kit for Palliative Orthoses

General product overview

Herbitas Blanda A+B Soft Silicone Shore 3–5 is an orthoplasty material designed for producing very soft podiatry orthoses. Its paste texture allows precise manual shaping, adapted to the morphology of the foot and to the desired therapeutic comfort. It is especially relevant when the aim is to create a palliative, protective or comfort-focused orthosis that helps reduce pain caused by friction, pressure or sensitive weight-bearing areas.

This silicone works with two components, A and B, which must be taken in equal quantities and mixed until a homogeneous colour is achieved. Once mixed, the practitioner can shape the orthosis according to the intended application. Its very low hardness of 3 to 5 Shore A places it among soft silicones, suitable for applications where comfort and protection are priorities.

Instructions for use

1. Moisten your hands and the client’s foot to prevent the silicone from sticking during handling.
2. Take an equal quantity of component A and component B, preferably using the supplied dosing spoons to keep both components separate.
3. Mix the two components vigorously until a homogeneous colour and texture are obtained.
4. Form a ball or a roll depending on the intended application and continue rolling the material between your hands.
5. When the silicone starts to harden, usually after approximately 30 seconds, apply it to the relevant area and shape the orthosis as required.
6. Leave the silicone in place for 4 to 5 minutes so that the orthosis can take its shape.
7. The orthosis can then be removed. Advise the client to wait 24 hours before wearing it, so that the silicone can fully cure.

Precautions for use

• Use only in a professional context and according to orthoplasty skills.
• Take both components with separate dosing spoons to avoid accidental mixing in the jars.
• Respect an equal quantity of component A and component B to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
• Do not apply to an open skin lesion without appropriate professional assessment.
• Check skin tolerance if the patient has a known sensitivity to any of the components.
• Wait until the orthosis is fully cured before prolonged wear.
• Store the components in their original containers and close the jars properly after use.
