Podiatry Appliances 129 Silicones Otoform-KC is an impression silicone used for moulding interdigital wedges, separators, dorsal toe protectors and orthodigital splints. It is a soft and easily kneadable impression material, which when used with the 'catalyst hardening' paste achieves a putty-like consistency. It remains in this form for a period of time ranging from 1-5 minutes. During which, the practitioner can fabricate a device into shape before setting begins. The non-greasy formula is particularly pleasant to handle and popular with patients.
