Make custom pads & inlays with Riecken’s Professional Quality Viscoelastic Polymer Fast and easy to use, PQ orthotics feature a low rebound and modulus. PQ is silicone free, remains soft, does not absorb moisture, and is excellent for soft-tissue protection. PQ orthotics dissipate shock and shear horizontally better than silicone-based materials that tend to rebound shock and shear back into the body. Available in quart and pint kits. See our catalog for more orthotic supplies.
