Milling wedges and milling plates in orthopaedics: precision for optimum results

In orthopaedic production, milling wedges and milling plates play a central role in the manufacture of customised prostheses, orthoses and other orthopaedic aids. These specialised tools enable precise machining of a wide variety of materials to create customised solutions for patients' needs.
What is a milling block?

A milling block is a block made of a robust material such as polyurethane or PEEK (polyetheretherketone) that has been specially developed for use in milling machines. These blocks serve as the basis for the production of customised orthopaedic aids. They are moulded into the desired shape through precise milling, for example to produce prosthetic parts or orthotic components.
