Ppl Biomechanics

PPL Biomechanics is Ireland’s leading manufacturer of custom orthoses, supplier of podiatry products and provider of post-graduate training in lower limb biomechanics. PPL was founded by podiatrists Joanne and James McKenna in 1993. Our factory, office and warehouse are located on Tramore Road in Cork City. We pride ourselves on continually providing a premium level of service to all our clients. At PPL we manufacture a wide range of custom orthoses. Our Handmade Casted Orthoses are manufactured using traditional plaster modification using very high density EVA (Podoflex), semi-rigid thermoplastics (Podofirm) and a blend of both materials together (Flexifirm). Our CAD CAM Direct Milled Orthoses are designed using our bespoke design software and direct milled on our CNC machine. We manufacture EVA, polyurethane and polypropylene devices using this method. Our Carbonflex devices are created using prefabricated thermoplastic shells with the option of adding an EVA heel post, orthotic components and extensions. Prescription Insoles are assembled from our selection of orthotic components derived from a prescription form and foot sketch. We now stock our largest ever range of stock orthotic devices, orthopaedic footwear, post-op and woundcare products, rehabilitation devices and clinical supplies. Our vast industry experience is essential to the success of the development and selection of the products which we stock. We pride ourselves on providing expert advice to our clients with respect to the selection of suitable devices. Our team of technicians have amassed years of experience with respect to prescriptions and products. They are always happy to share their knowledge with our clients.

In conjunction with the manufacture and supply of podiatry products, we also conduct regular educational seminars at various destinations around the country.
