DME code L3030 Heat Mold, Direct Contact Orthotic

A DME L3030 orthotic is a custom orthotic fabricated directly from the patient's foot. Usually, it is a thermoplastic orthotic blank that is heated with a toaster oven or a heat gun.

The orthotic device is then placed on a pillow or under the patient's shoe insole. Then the patient will press down with the practitioner controlling the subtalar joint (usually in neutral). This direct contact fabrication of an orthotic allows the practitioner to control the production process from start to finish without costly orthotic lab fees or messy plaster casts. Patients appreciate no having to wait weeks for the device. Usually, costs to the practitioner are much less than those charged by orthotic labs.


Atlas Biomechanics' thermoplastic heat moldable custom orthotic blanks allow you to produce a lab quality orthotic in office in about 10 minutes for a fraction of the price. Atlas Biomechanics offers dress and athletic orthotic blanks and prefab orthotic.
