HERBIMED SMOOTH

The Herbimed Smooth is a material made from EVA copolymers (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), widely used in the manufacture of plantar orthoses.

It is indicated for both the manufacture of corrective and functional insoles, allowing adjustment of the balance between correction and comfort according to the thickness and hardness of the material.

It is a very lightweight, washable material with low water absorption, easy to cut, glue and heat mold, offering excellent versatility and dimensional stability. In addition, it features closed cells, does not contain latex, and offers different behavior depending on thickness: slight propulsive effect in thin thicknesses and greater cushioning in thick thicknesses.
