Carbon graphite pre-preg material for use in shoe

Posted By: Randy McFarland on August 30, 2016

Hello List members!

I have usually purchased thin pre-fab CG footplates for use under diabetic
patients with great toe or partial foot amputation inserts.

Have you tried using flat pre-preg CG material that can be trimmed and
heated to the positive model of the patient's foot?

Does it hold up for these (usually low activity) diabetic patients?

Thank you!
