Aortha PE is a lightweight high density polyethylene with little to no memory. It is
usually coupled with reinforcement to keep its moulded contour. The thickness
required is selected by patient's weight or prescription instructions.
The Aortha PE provides tough rigid results when applied, providing a much
firmer finish making the material ideal for larger/heavier patients.
