RTP carbon fiber inserts are MADE IN THE USA, and are the first off-the-shelf Carbon Fiber Insert with three levels of stiffness to accommodate various foot injuries and activity demands. Inserts are designed by a Healthcare provider, engineered by a Mechanical Engineer, and have a textured surface to help prevent sliding in the shoe.
RTP carbon fiber inserts were developed as an off-the-shelf insert for either the right or left shoe to make the shoe more rigid. They were designed to replace the heavier spring steel inserts that are prone to rusting and damaging shoes. The carbon fiber inserts are 1/2 the weight of the spring steel inserts.
The RTP carbon fiber insert is very light and extremely strong. They are also known as carbon fiber plates or foot plates. RTP carbon inserts are used successfully for acute and chronic injuries to reduce fore-foot and mid-foot stress while walking or running by minimizing the range of motion. This RTP carbon fiber insole is used directly under the removable shoe insert, or under a full length custom orthotic for protection of the foot after injuries or surgery.
The RTP carbon fiber insert is perfect for common foot injuries such as turf toe, metatarsal stress fractures, toe fractures, metatarsal fractures, Lis franc injuries, Jones fracture, mid-foot sprains and post-op foot surgeries that require a rigid supported insole.
The RTP carbon fiber insert is primarily used by injured athletes and active people. The inserts allow athletes and active people return to play or activity by providing support to injured foot and are also recommended by physicians for patients with foot injuries which allows them to wear normal shoes after injuries or surgical procedures. The carbon fiber insert is placed directly under the removable insert in the shoe or under the orthotic.
