Tamarack Free-Motion Flexure Joint™
A self-aligning flexure joint technology without unwanted joint elongation, the Tamarack Flexure Joint™ has a unique high-strength inner core which increases tensile strength and rigidity while preserving bending flexibility.
Available in three sizes (pediatric, medium and large) , Flexure Joints provide strength, durability and ease of fabrication for thermoplastic orthoses.
"This design provides the strength and precision required for virtually all ankle joint applications. It is the first of a series of advances in flexure technology from Tamarack."
— J. Martin Carlson, CPO
Molding Dummies
Tamarack Molding Dummies are used to create snug-fitting cavities in a vacuum-formed orthosis for free-motion and dorsiflexion assist Tamarack Flexure Joints™.
Although vacuum-forming over the Tamarack Flexure Joints™ themselves will not harm them, this fabrication method will not provide the best performance. The specific configuration of the molding dummies allows the vacuum-formed plastic to fit more completely and snugly around the actual flexure joints. This snug fit produces a more precise, controlled joint articulation.
Note:
Molding dummies gradually lose their shape with repeated use. They should be discarded after about ten moldings.
