nora® Astro med 10
Material group:
Lift sheets
nora® Astro med 10 is a material with unique properties. It combines the advantages of an extremely soft material (approx. 10 Shore A) with excellent restoration capability and the advantages of a closed cell material. The closed cell structure prevents ichor and sweat and thus germs, bacteria and fungi from penetrating the material. Ichor adhering to the surface can by hygienically removed using commercially available disinfectants. Dynamic long-term stress tests have proven that a maximum deformation of approx. 8% remains after 24 hours of relief.
Areas of application:
cushioning in orthetics and prosthetics, heel and forefoot cushioning, continuous top cushioning layer of an insert, heel spur cavities for heel spur inserts, upper cushion for e.g. peroneal or ankle caps.
