Functional Adult Prefabs

P3 Functional Adult PrefabsIf You Use Prefabs - Use the Best

What makes our prefabs unique? ProLab combined evidence-based research with advanced technology to make the P3 Functional Adult the only true functionally-corrected prefabricated orthoses. The P3 is so advanced that you can use it to:

  • Replace low-Dye strapping
  • Predict custom orthotic efficacy
  • Prevent overuse injuries
  • Treat or prevent plantar fasciitis
  • Treat or prevent hallux limitus
  • Treat or prevent metatarsalgia
 

Built on a semirigid polypropylene shell, the P3 includes corrections that were previously available only in custom devices, including:

  • 2mm medial heel skive1
  • 14mm heel cup
  • 3° forefoot valgus correction2
  • 4/4 rearfoot post or 0/0 spot grind3, 4

Add one of these optional topcovers to enhance P3 performance:

  • Sport topcover – can improve the effectiveness of your patient’s athletic shoes. Use to treat or prevent overuse injuries.5
  • Low-Impact topcover – patients with sensitive feet benefit from added cushioning
  • EVA topcover – use for patients who want cushioning without bulk

Why are P3 Prefabs Better?
