Materials 103 Aortha Peel & Stick Gel Aortha Peel & Stick Gel is a low durometer comfort gel sheet with a revolutionary adhesive backing. The material also incorporates the unique antimicrobial properties of silver. Constructed from a hydrophilic film, silver ions work to prevent the regeneration of bacteria through diffusion from the surface area of the padding. This adhesive backed cushioning material is multi-functional and can be easily adapted to suit a wide range of applications. Features: ■ Peel & stick: specific spot placement, reusable adhesion ■ Transparent: discreet look, matches colour upon contact ■ Ionic silver antimicrobial surface: naturally anti-microbial ■ Polyurethane gel: low durometer, low cost and high performance ■ Trim to fit: cut with scissors for custom parts, die cut full insole liners, gel will not leak Applications: ■ Podiatry: heel lifts, heel spur pads, metatarsal pads, forefoot pads, friction relief ■ Prosthetic: specific spot placement and abrasive 'hot spots' ■ Diabetic: Cut to shape for full size insole lining, makes any insole a gel insole adhesive back clear polymer gel silver antimicrobial surface Code NHS Codes Thickness OB2809 ERP2480 2mm This innovative PORON® material is laminated to a polymer gel sheeting to combine the ingenious qualities of both materials for superior foot care. The bottom layer is made from PORON® 4000 Performance grade urethane. The material is blue in colour and designed to reduce impact to the feet and joints by providing advanced shock absorption and increased cushioning support. The top layer of this dual material is a clear gel panel, which acts like human fatty tissue to cushion bony protrusions and pressure sensitive skin. The gel displaces weight evenly thus preventing the focus of pressure on one area alone. PORON® Gel is also coated with an ionic silver antimicrobial surface layer. This provides the material with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and deodourising properties. The combination of advanced materials provides the healthcare professional with a firm, yet shock absorbing combination for appliances where patient comfort and tolerance is a priority.
