10 diaped.co.uk The 6° moderate arch height provides adequate functionality for the majority of patients. The arch profile was developed by Interpod to ensure superior patient comfort and therefore patient compliance. The PORON 96 top cover sets a new level of advanced underfoot comfort technology. The slow rebound quality of the material cradles the foot and allows enhanced redistribution of body weight over the foot's plantar surface. Open cell urethanes such as PORON have been proven to reduce vertical pressures by up to 18%. All materials from the PORON family pass both the Schwartz and Peck Human Patch Tests (for primary skin irritation) and USP Class VI toxicology testing. Features & Benefits • Inverted rear foot improves biomechanical function and enhances the windlass effect • Supported by clinical research. • Rear foot wedge is incorporated to offload the medial column and reduces the need for otherwise excessive arch height. Related research: "Insoles are commonly prescribed to offload the mechanical stress transmitted to the plantar tissues of the foot. Traditionally, the custom made total contact insole (TCI) is favoured over its prefabricated counterpart. The introduction of a new prefabricated diabetic insole - Interpod Diabetic - designed to modify foot biomechanics, may offer an instant, low-cost, clinically effective alternative. Paton reports, on a comparison of two insoles in the case of a 54 year old lady with type 2 diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, presenting with an ulceration overlying the third metatarsal region."
