Insoles & Components 77 Gel cell construction disperses impact and promotes pumping effect Medical grade PORON reduces vertical pressure by up to 18% Duosoft Flow is a unique insole designed to distribute weight bearing pressure while cushioning, massaging and absorbing impact. "122 individual gel cells independently react to the foot striking the floor with differing levels of resistance and compression, creating a continuous pumping effect". The Duosoft Flow's design combines the latest gel technology with the tried and trusted qualities of Medical Grade PORON ® 96. Features & Benefits ■ When combined with a contoured insole, helps improve blood circulation in feet via a 'pumping effect'¹ ■ Helps prevent ulcers, sores and calluses through the promotion of healthy skin tissue and the prevention of skin breakdown ■ Provides outstanding cushioning, which can prevent plantar ulceration in patients offloading and shock absorption ■ Alleviates general aches and pains ■ Helps prevent foot fatigue Gel Technology 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. Indications for use: ■ Insensate feet – absent sensation ■ Help protect against ulcer formation ■ Arthritic foot conditions ■ Metatarsalgia ■ Plantar Fasciitis ■ Neuropathy ■ Morton's Neuralgia ■ Tired and fatigued feet Universal size Each pack comes with cut-to-size sizing chart How they work... The Peripheral Venous Pump effect Studies state 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 in the leg¹. 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 foot¹. 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. Improved Oxygen Saturation Trials have suggested that Duosoft Flow insoles maintained SpO ² oxygen saturation levels four times better than the standard therapeutic insoles. It is accepted by Diabetic Foot specialists that enhancing tissue oxygenation protects against tissue breakdown, hence preventing ulcers, sores and calluses.
