ErgoPad soft Diabetes offers an optimal footbed for patient with diabetes in risk groups 0 to II. It distributes pressure evenly over the entire foot. This helps you to prevent pressure points and wounds. The viscoelastic material always returns to its original shape after wearing. As a result, the foot orthosis remains functional for a long time.

• Exceptionally soft cushioning for the foot
• Distributes pressure evenly and reduces pressure peaks
• Lowers the risk of wounds and injury

1 Poron soft cushion layer
Poron, the first 3 mm cushioning layer, absorbs the load and reduces pressure peaks when the foot is put down.

2 Vepur PU foam technology
Vepur, the second cushioning layer, distributes the load and offers targeted reduction of pressure peaks, therefore relieving the vulnerable, pressure-sensitive foot zones. The viscoelastic foam based on polyurethane reliably returns to its original height, maintaining the function long-term.

3 EVA base layer
The EVA base layer is more stable and provides support for the feet, especially the longitudinal arches.

Design:

• Soft foam foot orthosis
• Sandwich construction with supporting and cushioning materials

Serviceable life:

• High-quality and durable materials mean that the foot orthoses remain serviceable even after prolonged use – but this fundamentally depends on the load.
• We recommend that the functional properties be checked regularly.

Cleaning instructions:

The surfaces can be wiped clean using a mild cleaner/disinfectant (apart from leather top covers)
Not machine-washable
Do not expose to direct heat (central heating, direct sunlight)
Allow to air dry

Modification instructions – Specific information for Medical Retailers:

• The outline of the foot orthosis must be ground in a tapered shape.
• Easy to grind (grinding belt and pumice stone, grit 40–100)
• Easy to bond (standard workshop adhesives)
• Thermo-formable

Indications:

• 0 Diabetes mellitus without polyneuropathy (PNP) / peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
• 1 Same as risk class 0, with foot deformity
• 2 Diabetes mellitus with loss of sensitivity due to PNP / relevant PAD
• Concomitant indications1
• Arch decreased foot / splay foot
• Valgus foot
• Mild and moderate pes cavus
• Post-traumatic foot deformities
• Knee joint and back pain

Depending on the severity of the foot, knee or back deformity

Mode of Action:

• Extensive cushioning of the foot, absorption of loads, and reduction of pressure peaks
• Reduces the risk of injury in the sensitive foot area of people with diabetes
