| Peripheral neuropathy, in conjunction with plantar shear forces and pressure are known to be the primary causes of ulceration in patients with diabetes.
The Vasyli-Armstrong® Diabetic orthotic addresses the key problem areas for the diabetic foot – shearing / friction and pressure. By utilizing patented Glidesoft® technology, this unique combination of construction and materials has been scientifically shown to reduce shear pressures by over 50% and the onset of plantar ulcers by over 70%, compared to conventional diabetic insoles. |
 |
| The dorsal surface of the Vasyli-Armstrong orthotic moves with the plantar surface of the foot. This dramatically reduces shearing/frictional forces. This in-turn assists in the reduction of skin lesions and the potential for infection/ulceration. |
Unique Material Combination
|
| 1. Outlast® constant temperature material cover
2. Plastazote layer
(heat moldable and 100% plantar surface contact)
3. Shock absorbing layer
4. Teflon® layer
5. EVA base layer (heat moldable) |
