nora astro form 15

DESCRIPTION

• The material Nora Astro form is made of light cellular rubber with a unique composition of properties. It is very soft and resilient, yet still keeps its shape! With nora® Astro form 8 and Nora Astro form 15, this material is now available in two types. Both have a closed cell structure, are hygienically washable and optimally thermoformable, and also exhibit particular softness and high permanent resilience and recovery capability after processing. Whereas Nora Astro form 8 is so soft that the Shore A hardness is scarcely measurable, Nora Astro form 15 is firmer and tighter with a Shore A hardness of about 15 and a density of 0.32 g/cm³,and exhibits even greater recovery capability. The practitioner can choose between these two types depending on the load conditions, use and area. The closed cell structure prevents wound secretion and sweat, and thus germs, bacteria and fungi, from penetrating the material. Secretions adhering to the surface can by hygienically removed using commercially available disinfectants.
