The hardening time indicates the time period during which the material remains flexible, but no longer mouldable.
The time to completion indicates the length of time until the orthosis is finished and can be worn by the patient.
The memory indicates the ability of the material to regain its original shape after reheating.
The flexural modulus indicates the resistance of the material to a force causing it to bend.
The elastic modulus defines the ratio of the applied tensile stress to the change in shape of the material.
The tensile strength is the pulling force required to break the material.
The strain at break is the length increase of the material when stretched until failure.
The hardness indicates the resistance of the material to compression.
Fatigue indicates the minimum number of stress cycles the material sustains when bending over 90 degrees without failure.
The biocompatibility is studied according the guidelines of the International Organization for Standardization 10993 – Biological Evaluation
of Medical Devices:
o Primary skin irritation study.
o Delayed dermal contact sensitization study.
o Cytotoxicity study.
