Fully customisable for full decompression of injured parts of the feet

The device OPTIMA DIAB is characterised by a high vamp, which contains a very rigid stiffener. Its internal back part can be shaped with heat according to the needs of the patient.

The device is fastened with a system of moveable velcro straps. From the leg, this structure helps to reduce pressure on the foot, while deambulation is controlled through the sole radius. In this product for patients with plantar ulcers, three different types of material with different density levels (soft, medium, stiff) are inserted at the bottom. These materials can be arranged both vertically and horizontally. These inserts make it possible to tailor-make footwear, with corresponding decompression in the plantar area.

This operation may be performed in emergency situations, also at level of out-patient, with few and simple modifications.

Non-removable system

Use of adaptable plantar

The diabetic foot possesses a high risk of getting skeleton deformation on points of support, where the main pressure loads are concentrated.

An additional peripheral neuropathy could above all cause ulcer lesion.

Through the plantar insert, designed to harmonise support and decompress parts at risk, it is possible to modify the density of materials, both vertically and horizontally.

Thus, by modifying the sole inserts, a targeted and specific decompression of areas can be obtained. After the lesion print has been taken on the plantar to be cut with a common scalpel, a conical discharge hole can be made.

Then, the cut plantar must be inserted in the intermediate layer.

Through this operation, materials in contact with the plantar are untouched, there are no harmful frictions on the lesion, and pressure is regularly removed from ulcerated areas.
