DIABETEC Prevention
These patented soft-foam custom-moulded orthotics serve to prevent consequences of the diabetic foot syndrome and prevent the foot´s overloading. Overloading mostly occurs when having an increasing cornea formation on special spots underneath the sole. Those cornea spots often represent the early form of foot wounds. .
Details of the orthotics
- An additional heightening in the middle foot area can be managed by a basic element that is stabile in its form. A macro-relief can be achieved for heal and forefoot.
- The especially soft damping layer implies a micro-relief in the forefoot, particularly in the metatarsal head and the toes.
- Usual shear movements while walking normally induce to abrasion points at a diabetic foot. The neoprene layer in the orthotic prevents those points.
- The orthotic can be worn in manufacture or safety shoes.
Did you know…
there are 28.000 amputations each year?
50% of these amputations could be prevented if the patients went to do some prophylaxes: for example custom-moulded orthotics; foot adapted safety shoes that partly are paid by health insurances; regular and proper pedicure done by a podologist; regular visits at doctor´s or orthopedic staff.
Important is…
to wear the orthotics in the proper shoes.
The shoes should have the following properties:
Sufficient space in length and height for the toes, enough width, avoidance of pinching seams, soft material at the flexible foot regions that face a risk of pinching, no penetrating cap at the forefoot (depending on the “AG Diabetic foot”).
