Aquafit NS
Aquafit NS has a smooth white surface. The material is suitable for a wide range of orthoses. It is an excellent choice for orthoses both large and small, according to the thickness you select. When the coating is removed, all attachments can be adhered to by using dry heat.
Why Choose Aquafit NS?
Aquafit NS offers a great combination of aesthetics, functionality, and performance. Its transparent activation helps ensure accurate positioning, while the shiny white finish provides a clean and professional look. The non-stick coating prevents accidental bonding but allows for temporary adhesion during molding and permanent bonding with dry heat when needed. Available in both soft and stiff versions, Aquafit NS adapts to any orthotic need with comfort and precision.
