Gel Cell Base 122 individual gel cells independently react to the foot the striking the floor with differing levels of resistance and compression, creating a continuous pump effect. This innovative gel cell design also reduces impact, dampens vibration and displaces pressure. This low durometer gel technology is manufactured from a true visco-elastic gel. The gel cells will not leach oil, will not flatten during use and will not compress over time. PORON ® Top Cover PORON Medical Urethanes are formulated to last. They contain no plasticisers or processing agents, and will not become brittle or crack with age. PORON materials pass both the Schwartz and Peck Human Patch Tests for primary skin irritation. PORON Urethanes have been proven to reduce vertical pressures by up to 18%. The slow recovery quality of the material cradles the foot and allows enhanced redistribution of body weight over the foot's plantar surface. It is soft, comfortable and allows the feet to remain cool, dry and odourless. How it works Blood that flows through the body is responsible for transporting essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and cells of the body, in particularly to the foot. When blood flow becomes reduced due to external stresses and pressures, the delivery of these essential elements is affected. Gentle caressing of the foot may be beneficial as it aids the blood to flow. The Peripheral Venous Pump effect Flavell² states that during ambulation (or walking), induced natural compression of the plantar surface of the foot stimulates the plantar peripheral venous pump in the foot, which in turn pushes blood to the posterior tibial veins of the leg. Duosoft Flow insoles when combined with a contoured insole provide an enhanced massaging action upon the plantar surface of the foot assisting the efficiency of the venous pump thus reducing the potential for venous stasis and in turn improve blood flow in the foot³. Ground reaction forces upon weight bearing 'pushes' the gel cells into the soft tissues overlying the Peripheral Plantar venous pump, hence promoting improved blood flow. Prevention Designed for people with Diabetes, Arthritis, or other conditions that result in sensitive feet. The Duosoft Flow's design combines the latest gel technology with the tried and trusted qualities of Medical Grade PORON ® 96.
