Each of our insoles aims to control, treat, alleviate or offset an injury or deficiency. As this is a health product, quality and safety are necessary conditions.

At BIOMECH CONSULTING we guarantee the quality and safety of each of our insoles because we continuously control, check and improve each phase in the production process, based on the standard ISO 9001.

The quality of our product largely depends on the raw materials we use. For this reason, we continuously research new materials that will allow us to develop more efficient, lighter and more comfortable products, and this is why we only collaborate with suppliers who comply with all the quality, hygiene and sustainability demands that give our INSOLES great added value, for the benefit of your patient.

We demand that our collaborators’ products are made in line with strict quality and safety standards, while they must also be supported by internationally recognised seals and compliant with legislation in force.

OEKO – TEX

STANDARD 100 by OEKO – TEX is the world-leading ecological label for textile products. Products that are produced under these standards are known for being products that have been assessed and certified by INTERNATIONALLY renowned institutes and, in addition, this certificate assures the consumer that the textile products have been analysed, controlling substances that are harmful to health, and producing them safely, responsibly and transparently.

INESCOP VEGAN

This certification by INESCOP guarantees that the main chemical nature of the material does not comprise fibres of animal origin (skin with fur, leather, silk, wool or down).

DERMATEST

A product certified by DERMATEST guarantees maximum efficacy and excellent skin tolerance, thus ensuring the safety of your patients.

SG PLUS CERTIFICATION

This is a guarantee of quality, hygiene and safety in the material, which does not cause allergies or contain harmful substances that are a risk to the health of the distributor, handler or patient.

 

At present, we have all the machinable materials on the market: natural polypropylene, carbon-fibre polypropylene, double- and triple-stiffness EVA, polyurethane, etc. Numerous finish options and corrections make our product the right solution for your patients while also offering you distinctive value over your direct competitors.

You can consult the variety and qualities of our materials in our DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO MATERIALS FOR ORTHOTICS.

At Biomech Consulting, the frames for personalised insoles can be manufactured in a plethora of materials in varying densities, levels of resistance and flexibility. Depending on the materials, corrections and finishes chosen, the result will be a specific insole unique to your patients, which will help to improve their pathology.

Of course, this decision is based on an initial diagnosis, following a biomechanical study and an analysis of the stride and gait, and a treatment is prescribed, detailing the geometry of the insoles and suitable materials.

At Biomech Consulting all the materials we offer are tested and analysed so they may provide optimal results in terms of pressure distribution, cushioning, impact absorption, and balancing of moments.

Two of the most commonly used materials in manufacturing personalised insoles are natural polypropylene and carbon-fibre polypropylene; production of insoles made in either material amounts to 76% of Biomech Consulting’s total production.

 

Things to consider when choosing the material

Both natural polypropylene and carbon-fibre polypropylene have specific characteristics that cause positive changes in your patients on a functional, biomechanical and resistance level. Understanding the specific characteristics of each will facilitate your diagnosis and prescription of effective treatments.

Natural polypropylene is recommended for pathologies where the aim is a significant biomechanical correction or compensation, as is the case with children’s pathologies where greater control and correction are necessary. This product is suitable for corrections of paediatric flat feet. Natural polypropylene has the following characteristics:

  • Light
  • Washable
  • Quite elastic
  • Provides stability
  • Good biomechanical correction
  • Resistant to breakage
  • High residual deformation
  • Impact resistant
  • High maximum constant working temperature of 100ºC

 

Carbon-fibre polypropylene is recommended in cases where significant biomechanical correction is required with extra elasticity. It is suitable for treatments in athletes who need the control provided by plastic, but with good elasticity so as not to generate tissue stress. Carbon-fibre polypropylene is mainly known for being:

  • Light
  • Elastic (more elastic than natural polypropylene)
  • Radiotransparent
  • Good stability
  • Good biomechanical correction
  • Impact resistant
  • Good tensile strength
  • Good balance of stiffness, and abrasion and chemical resistance

 

Completing your polypropylene insole with an On Steam lining is the best option for this summer

On Steam is the perfect material for any time of year, but especially summer. On Steam is a microfibre that feels like leather, is 100% breathable and can absorb up to eight times its weight in water.

With its heat-regulating effect, it offers maximum comfort and full drying. Sweat does not accumulate inside the footwear, but rather the fabric encourages it to evaporate such that the foot is always dry, preventing bad odours from being generated.

It is also antibacterial and antimicrobial in nature.
