ICB Dual Density Heat Moulding orthotics are highly versatile in their application.  ICB Orthotics can be heat moulding directly to the foot, to customise to the individual foot’s contours, or can be heat moulded to a plaster cast.

Heat moulding ICB orthotics to the patient’s foot is a simple and timely process that can be performed quickly and easily within the clinic setting.  Firstly, heat is applied to the plantar surface of the orthotic (using an ICB medical heat gun), focussing the heat around the arch area for approximately 20-30 seconds.


Next, place the heated orthotic into the shoe (with the unheated orthotic also placed in the opposite shoe).  As the patient stands, with equal weight on each foot, place the foot in the Subtalar Neutral Position and hold the orthotic to the arch for 20-30 seconds.

Remove the moulded orthotic from the shoe and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes, then return the moulded orthotic to the shoe.

Repeat this process for the other foot.

Using ICB Orthotic to mould to a plaster cast is also easy. 

Simply place the heated orthotic onto the plaster cast and use a vacuum former to mould into shape.
