The difference at cellular level

  • The unique microcellular open cell structure, uniform cell size, and engineered cell wall properties give PORON® high performance foams remarkable impact absorption properties and life of the device/shoe high performance cushioning
  • This structural uniformity also imparts isotropic mechanical properties assuring constant and reliable performance whether used as a flat bedding or as a skived element
  • Unlike closed cell foams, the cells of PORON® foams will not break down and lose thickness following impact
  • The open cell structure also provides breathability and water vapour transmission
  • Sanding results in a smooth, even finish with continuity of performance

Why use wheels?
Save space: wheels are ideal for those who require instant material availability, but have limited storage space in a clinic or lab
Save time: cushioning can be applied faster with improved handling and quicker finishing
Save money: significant cost savings are often seen through improved material usage and reduced wastage
