Description
ThermoLyn clear 616T83 is a transparent thermoplastic material for manufacturing self-supporting test sockets with a limited wear time. Particularly in prosthetic care, it helps orthopaedic technicians assess fit quickly and reliably: the clear view of the residual limb makes it possible to check pressure points, skin discoloration and contact areas precisely. For those who value robust processing and reliable shaping in the workshop, ThermoLyn clear 616T83 is a suitable solution.
Every adjustment matters in test fitting: ThermoLyn clear 616T83 makes iterative socket optimisation easier because its transparency allows direct visual inspection during fitting and under load. This means fit, trim lines and problem pressure areas can be identified early and corrected precisely – an advantage when time, materials and patient comfort are important. As a copolyester, ThermoLyn clear 616T83 offers high dimensional stability and low shrinkage, supporting dimensional accuracy during vacuum forming. Its very high impact resistance and good resistance to breakage also ensure safer handling and use as a test socket. ThermoLyn clear 616T83 can also be laminated over, allowing an adapter to be securely fixed in place. The material is processed at the recommended temperature using a heating plate, convection oven or infrared oven – ideal for standard workshop processes.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Transparent test socket for precise assessment of fit and skin discoloration
