OSAAP: Applications - Medical
Shadow boards are a very useful supply for medical industries to have. Keeping your tools in the exact right place and accounted for can prevent mishaps and increase facility organization.
Foam
OSAAP America exclusively uses Zotefoam products because they are the purest polyethylene foam manufactured in the world today.
AZOTE is the group brand name for Zotefoams’ closed cell, cross linked polyolefin foam… high quality foam from differing base polymers but all manufactured using the same unique nitrogen expansion process route. You can find a more detailed description of our proprietary manufacturing process here. AZOTE was used formerly as a name for Nitrogen and is still used by French chemists to refer to the element. AZOTE foam derives many of their exceptional properties directly from the use of this inert, tasteless, odorless gas in the manufacturing process.
PlasticCore®
FOD control is a high priority for medical facilities. Preventing debris on tools, supplies, or during a procedure is of utmost importance. For medical industries we recommend using the PlasticCore® material option of shadow board. PlasticCore® is FDA approved and most commonly used with medical instruments. PlasticCore® is easy to clean/soak and has no debris compared to foam which can occasionally have stray particles.
