PRODUCTS
DYNAMIC FLEX® OR STANDARD ORTHOTICS
POL Orthotics are made according to Root & Weed principle. We are also experienced in modified our orthotics to fit any abnormalities that are out of the normal principle using our over 25 of experience years in the business.
We have two main types of orthotics shells (STD and DFO) and 14 different types of orthotics with simple descriptions to make it easy for podiatrists to select the most appropriate orthotics for their patients.
STANDARD FUNCTIONAL ORTHOTICS (STD): Rigid orthotic shells using hard materials ie. polypropylene or graphite.
DYNAMIC FLEX® ORTHOTICS (DFO): Semi-flexible shells using low-density polyethylene with plantar filling. With a longer posting area, the DFO offers a more flexible device without compromise the controlling of abnormal pronation. The DFO is more suitable for strenuous sports activities or anyone who cannot tolerate the hard shells of the standard orthotics.

You may activate your orthotics by one of the two ways:
