Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCTInsoles for Foot
Assess the condition of foot ulcers in patients, beginning with creating a cast of the affected foot. After the initial rectification, necessary modifications are made to prepare the rough insole. The size and fit of the insole are then carefully checked against the patient's foot. I use local silicone materials, secured with lady socks or stockinette to ensure the insole stays in place and provides durability.
