The Transparent Check Socket Plate (PT Series) is a high-performance thermoplastic engineered specifically for the fabrication of diagnostic test sockets. This prosthetic test socket material offers superior optical clarity, enabling prosthetists to perform direct visual inspections of the residual limb’s interaction with the socket wall. Utilizing a transparent thermoplastic plate ensures accurate pressure distribution analysis and precise anatomical fit-check before the final lamination process.

Technical Highlights


  • Temperature: ~160°C Process.

  • Hardness: 80 Shore D.

  • Heating: 3 min per mm.

  • Visual: Crystal Clear Transparency.

The PT series consists of premium thermoplastic plates specifically formulated for the fabrication of check (test) sockets. Their crystal-clear transparency is a vital tool for prosthetists, allowing for direct visual inspection of the residual limb’s fit and pressure distribution inside the socket. With a high hardness of 80 Shore D, these plates provide the structural stability needed for trial walking sessions while maintaining excellent thermoforming properties at 160°C.

Diagnostic Benefits


Visual Fit Control

The transparent nature of the PT plate allows the technician to observe skin blanching or air gaps in real-time, ensuring a perfect anatomical match before final socket lamination.


Structural Integrity

Engineered with an 80 Shore D hardness profile, these plates resist deformation during weight-bearing tests, providing reliable feedback during the gait analysis phase.
