Description
The nora® Supersorb® 82 brick red is a high-performance visco-elastic shock absorbing material designed for orthopedic footwear, sports orthotics, and prosthetic applications where maximum impact reduction and cushioning are required. With its excellent damping properties and high resilience, Supersorb® provides outstanding comfort under high load conditions, making it particularly suitable for heel cushioning and high-impact areas.
The rippled profile structure allows the material to compress progressively under load, ensuring effective shock absorption while maintaining flexibility and durability. Supersorb® is designed to perform under high tread forces, making it ideal for active patients, sports footwear, and orthopedic shoes requiring superior cushioning performance.
Compared to standard cushioning materials, Supersorb® offers significantly higher shock absorption while still providing sufficient resilience for stable and comfortable gait.
