Incorporating specialized materials into grips, handles, buttons, plungers, caps and closures can help reduce forceful exertion, repetitive motion, contact stress and vibration.
For soft orthotics, TPEs can form the entire orthotic part, be overmolded on top of a rigid sub-layer to give selective comfort and control or encase a viscous liquid material.
For example, the Lobie™ earbud accessory from Acousticlobe features soft, lightweight TPE material, and is designed to position earbuds next to the ear so users avoid the discomfort of inserting them into the ear canal.
