ProComp® (carbon reinforced polypropylene) is a patented high-pressure laminated prepreg composite that is available in stable sheet form.

The proprietary composite manufacturing process infuses high strength carbon fibers into the structure of the hybrid laminate. The patient is thus protected from dermal contact with the carbon fibers as the surfaces of the laminate are void of carbon fibers. The high-pressure laminated prepreg composite is comprised of layers of a thermoplastic resin and carbon fiber, and is compatible with post-delivery adjustments to the clinical device without a decrease in structural integrity of the composite.

The advanced proprietary high-pressure lamination process allows the ultra-light carbon composite to be compatible with standard vacuum drape and bubble forming techniques commonly used for the custom fabrication of lower limb orthoses and prosthetic sockets.

ProComp® offers financial and clinical, and fabrication advantages to Orthotic and Prosthetic practices.

Tech Tip For O&P Fabricators– ProComp® can be formed using the same techniques as standard polypropylene with no special equipment necessary.

PROCOMP® IS WIDELY USED FOR:

• AFOs, KAFOs, and SMOs
• Orthotics for hand and wrist

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:

• 25% stiffer than standard homopolymer polypropylene
• Improved structural integrity
• High melt strength
• Less cold flow (creep)
• Zero carbon fiber strand protrusion
• No shrinkage due to carbon fiber

FORMING INFORMATION:

• Can be formed using same techniques as standard 
  polypropylene
• No special equipment needed to fabricate
