nora®  Astro med 10 consists of a material with unique properties. It combines the benefits of an extremely soft material (about 10 shore A) with excellent restoration capacity with the benefits of an hygienic, closed-cell material.

Dynamic endurance tests have proven that after 24 hours of relief a maximum deformation of about 8 % remains. For comparison: the requirements of the PFI Institute for passing the SG plus test are < 30% and were thus exceeded many times over.

The closed cell structure prevents ichor and sweat and thus germs, bacteria and fungi from penetrating the material and ichor adhering to the surface can be hygienically removed with commercially available disinfectants.

The advantages of nora® Astro med 10 are quite obvious:

• Extreme softness of about 10 shore A
• Excellent restoration capability after compression
• Low compression
• Outstanding cushioning properties
• Optimum shock absorption
• Support of the balance during treading
• Hygienic & disinfectable due to closed-cell surface
• Skin compatibility tested & certified by Institute Fresenius
• Outstanding adhesive properties

Ideal areas of application of nora® Astro med 10:

• Cushioning in orthetics and prothetics
• Heel and forefoot cushion
• Continuous upper cushioning layer of an insert
• Heel spur hollows in heel spur inserts
• Upper cushion in e.g. peroneus or ankle cap

Please note: in contrast to nora®  EVA materials nora®  Astro med 10 is not thermoformable and is processed by cold glueing.
