Custom Durable & Waterproof Fill-and-Cure Silicone Orthopedic Cast
Breathable Lightweight Silicone Fracture Cast | Hollow Lattice Orthopedic Immobilization Support | Custom OEM & ODM Silicone Products Manufacturer.
Siliconexy (Xinyin) develops custom silicone orthopedic casts and fracture fixation supports featuring a flexible hollow-lattice structure designed to be filled with a compatible curing material and transformed into a rigid orthopedic support after curing.

Description of Custom Silicone Orthotic Braces for Fractures
Although plaster casts play an important role in the treatment of fractures, their weight and enclosed structure present some potential drawbacks.
- Joint stiffness: Prolonged immobilization may lead to contractures of the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the joint, affecting subsequent motor function.
- Skin problems: Prolonged enclosed wrapping may trigger eczema, pressure sores, or contact dermatitis, with the risk being particularly higher in humid environments.
- Risk of complications: If the wound becomes inflamed or swollen after plaster immobilization, the cast may become too tight, leading to limb swelling, ischemia, or even compartment syndrome.
Our factory’s product effectively addresses the issues associated with plaster casts, such as bulkiness, a closed structure, moisture retention, and difficulty in monitoring the affected area.
Instead of creating the entire rigid structure directly from a solid plaster material, the product uses a thin-wall hollow silicone (Medical-Grade Silicone) lattice as the primary structure.
The flexible silicone component is positioned around the intended anatomical area. A compatible curing material or curing system is then introduced into the hollow structure. After the material solidifies, it creates the internal rigidity required for the intended orthopedic support.
It combines the flexibility and skin-friendly properties of silicone with a lightweight design that avoids putting pressure on the affected area, while still providing the structural rigidity required for immobilization.
At the same time, its open-mesh structure offers a larger exposed surface area compared to traditional closed-cast plaster casts, promoting air circulation. This helps alleviate the damp, stuffy sensation caused by heat and sweating at the affected site, thereby reducing the risk of eczema or dermatitis. It also allows for easy monitoring of the affected area at any time, enabling prompt detection of any issues.
Key Features of the Silicone Orthopedic Cast
Key Features of the Silicone Orthopedic Cast:
- Medical-Grade Silicone Structure. Manufactured using medical-grade silicone options suitable for skin-contact applications, subject to the final material specification and required validation.
- Hollow Fill-and-Cure Design. The internal hollow structure is designed to accommodate compatible curable materials or curing systems that solidify inside the structure.
- Breathable Lattice Structure. Multiple openings promote airflow around the immobilized area and create a more open structure than conventional solid plaster casts.
- Lightweight Orthopedic Design. The thin-wall lattice construction is designed to reduce unnecessary material, bulk, and overall weight.
- Flexible Before Curing. The silicone structure remains flexible before the internal filling material is cured, allowing the support to conform to the intended anatomical area.
- Rigid After Curing. Once the selected curing material has solidified, the internal structure provides rigidity and support for orthopedic immobilization applications.
- Skin-Friendly Silicone Interface. The soft silicone structure provides a comfortable interface with the skin compared with a conventional rigid plaster surface.
- Custom Anatomical Shapes. Dimensions, shape, lattice pattern, wall thickness, opening size, and structural configuration can be customized.
- Multiple Curing Material Options. The product concept can be developed around different compatible curing or solidifying materials rather than being limited to one specific resin.
- OEM & ODM Manufacturing. Suitable for medical device companies, orthopedic product brands, distributors, wholesalers, and product developers.

How Does the Fill-and-Cure Orthopedic Cast Work?
- Flexible Silicone Lattice. The product starts as a lightweight, flexible hollow silicone lattice structure. Its geometry can be designed according to the target body part, required dimensions, and intended immobilization application.
- Position Around the Target Area. The flexible structure is positioned around the intended anatomical area. The silicone geometry can be customized to follow different anatomical contours.
- Fill the Internal Structure. A compatible curable or solidifying material is introduced through the designated filling port. The system does not need to be limited to one specific type of resin. The internal structure can be engineered according to the selected filling material and curing process.
- Curing & Solidification. The filling material cures or solidifies inside the hollow silicone structure. The curing process transforms the initially flexible structure into a rigid support system.
- Rigid Orthopedic Support. After curing, the internal material provides the structural rigidity required for the intended application while the silicone lattice remains an integral part of the finished support.
