Hello to all, I'm new to this site, so please excuse me if I'm repeating a previous thread. The question I have is ...does anyone know of any companies that make EVA wedging above 5°?

I recently attended the Biomechanics Summer School '09 and listened to Paul Harradine’s talk about MOSI skive and the chair side devices he makes within his clinic. Personally I was impressed with the degree of control you can get with such a simple chair side device and have since had a lot of success with this type of posting as have some of my colleagues. The problem however is that this technique does require (in the majority of cases) use of a whole strip of wedging per pair of devises! Which as well as not being particularly cost effective, a lot room required to stock such quantities of wedging within clinic. At present our trust is ordering in 3° & 5° only. Therefore in an attempt to try to keep costs down and to reduce the amount of strips needed I enquired with ‘Algeos’ whether they produce wedging of above 5° and unfortunately they don't. They did however say that if we were ordering in excess of 10,000 strips they could possibly look into it (a big order indeed!).
So to summarise my question is … does anyone know of any companies that make EVA wedging above 5°? Has anyone experienced the same problems? …and…Are there Podiatrists out there who would want companies like ‘Algeos’ to produce EVA wedging above 5°? Is there a demand??? :wacko::wacko::wacko:
