Prolab offers three different types of accommodative orthotics devices.  Al the devices should be fabricated from a semi-weightbearing casts, due to the production process of not adding soft tissue expansion (no fill). All three options have some similarities:  14 mm heel cup, standard width and no cast fill.  The differences are listed below:

   Custom Diabetic- Firm Plastazote shell, diabetic cover to toes
   Custom Insole- Full length medium Plastazote shell, P-cell cover to toes
   EVA Accommodative- 3 mm VF shell, extended EVA arch fill, 3 mm nylene to toes

All three devices are a good option for pathology such as severe Charcot deformity, late stage RA and severe fat pad atrophy due to the aging process.

Take a look at the web page for more details on each of these devices.
