Precision surface finishing for prosthetic & orthotic workshops
Qaadir Wet & Dry Sandpaper 180G is a professional-grade abrasive specifically selected for the daily demands of prosthetic and orthotic (O&P) fabrication and finishing. Supplied in a cost-effective 100-sheet pack, it delivers consistent material removal, excellent control, and reliable performance across a wide range of workshop materials.
Designed for O&P Workshop Applications
180 grit sits at the ideal mid-range for shaping, blending, and pre-finishing, making it one of the most frequently used abrasives in prosthetic and orthotic production.
Typical applications include:
-
Prosthetic sockets: Smoothing carbon fibre, fiberglass, and resin laminations after trimming
-
Thermoplastics: Refining edges on PP, PE, PETG, EVA, and copolymer orthoses
-
3D printed parts: Surface preparation of SLS, MJF, and FDM components before final finishing
-
AFOs & KAFOs: Blending trimlines and strap attachment areas
-
Foot orthotics & insoles: Shaping shells and levelling top covers
-
Socket modifications: Controlled removal during check socket adjustments
