Brief Summary

Offloading plays an important part Diabetic foot ulcers healing. The modular design of the DiaSole would allow the offloading cavity to be changed in line with the changing ulcer dimensions. It may be possible to use the DiaSole for other causes of neuropathic foot ulcerations (such as rheumatoid arthritis), but the safety of the insole needs assessing first. There is already evidence to support the use of offloading insoles in the healing and prevention of pressure ulcers, DiaSole may be an improved insole for this purpose.
