Anatomical design to facilitate off loading of the metatarsal head area.

Plastazote and Urethane combination.

Distinctive self contouring capabilities and hypoallergenic formulation customises to the foot to accommodate pressure hot spots.

Features:

• Plastazote top cover, PORON cushioning and a high quality EVA base.
• Excellent shape retention and support.
• Long-lasting Orthotic ideal for diabetics and arthritics.
• A top layer of Plastazote conforms for a custom fit to the individual

Indications:

• Concerns for skin breakdown
• Arthritic changes in the foot
• Reduction of shearing forces on foot surfaces
• Bunions and calluses
• Insensate feet
• Metatarsalgia
• Pre-ulcerated sites
• Need for forefoot accommodation

Functionality + Cradling = The ultimate diabetic foot orthotic

Research has proved that by controlling the rear foot, you can relieve pressure on the forefoot and improve biomechanical function. A moderate 6° arch height and profile design of the Interpod Diabetic aids both control and comfort, and therefore patient compliance, but still provides adequate off-loading. In addition to this, the Interpod Diabetic also incorporates a PORON 96 top cover. PORON 96 is a slow memory, medical grade cushioning polyurethane foam memory that cradles the foot and allows enhanced redistribution of body weight over the foot’s plantar surface.

Function and control:

• Inverted rear foot improves biomechanical function and enhances the windlass effect.
• 6° Moderate arch height provides adequate functionality for the majority patients.
• Interpod arch profile ensures superior patient comfort and therefore patient compliance.
• The plantar fascial groove helps to decrease arch irritation and facilitate the windlass mechanism. This acts to stabilise the foot during propulsion, hence a reduce mean peak pressures across the forefoot.
• Biomechanical design principles and pressure dissipating material incorporation ensure reduction in the forefoot pressure time integral.

Foot cradling and pressure dispersion:

• Open cell urethanes such as PORON have been scientifically proven to reduce vertical pressures by up to 18%.
• PORON Medical sets a new level of advanced underfoot comfort technology. The slow memory quality of the material cradles the foot and allows enhanced redistribution of body weight over the foot’s plantar surface.
• Medical grade PORON is one few materials specifically designed for use in podiatric and orthopaedic appliances, where body contact may occur.
• PORON Medical is fungal resistant, PVC, Latex and Solvent free, as well as biocompatible.

The dual-layer design of Duosoft Plus consists of a resilient, shock absorbing urethane base and a Poron 94 top cover.

Poron 94 sets a new level of advanced underfoot comfort technology. The slow rebound quality of the material cradles the foot and allows enhanced redistribution of body weight over the foot’s plantar surface. It is soft, comfortable and allows the feet to remain cool, dry and odourless.

A Vygel heel accompanies the dual-layer formation to provide optimal shock attenuation at heel strike.

Indications:

• Insensate feet
• Metatarsalgia
• Pre-ulcerated sites
• Plantar fasciitis
• Foot deformities
• Morton’s neuralgia
• Forefoot accommodation
• Skin breakdown

Designed to fit into both traditional footwear and ‘additional depth’ orthopaedic shoes.
