How to choose appropriate insoles for diabetic foot or ulcerated foot when there are wounds or ulcers on the soles of the feet?
1. Soft materials
A soft and shock-absorbing material can reduce friction and protect the ulcer.
2. Customization
In some cases, custom-made insoles may be necessary to accommodate the specific shape and size of the ulcer. These can be obtained through a healthcare professional who can take precise measurements and create a tailored solution.
3. Offloading properties
Insoles designed for foot ulcers should have offloading properties, meaning they redistribute pressure away from the ulcerated area. This can help promote healing and prevent further damage.
4. Moisture-wicking and breathable
Opt for insoles that are moisture-wicking and breathable to maintain a dry and healthy environment for the foot. This can help prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.
We have developed a specially designed removable pegs insole for diabetic or ulcerated feet. This insole not only meets the aforementioned requirements but also features detachable pegs that can be adjusted to fit based on the ulcer’s location and the size of the wound.
