Kassel Wound Care Shoe - Rigid Rocker Sole for Diabetic Foot Care

The Kassel Wound Care Shoe is designed for specific wound stages and risk groups associated with diabetic foot syndrome. Its rigid, 30mm-thick rocker bottom sole prevents bending at the metatarsophalangeal joints, helping to stabilise and immobilise the foot. This helps relieve an existing wound and support healing.

Features

• Extra-strong, rigid rocker bottom sole with pitch and a thickness of 30mm.
• Prevents flexion at the metatarsophalangeal joints, where the toes meet the foot.
• Spacious design to accommodate specific foot care requirements.
• Firm outer fabric can be separated from the soft inner fabric to help avoid pressure points and prevent oedema.
• Left and right foot options available.
• Supplied without insoles.
• A protective forefoot cap can be attached, where applicable, to help keep the foot dry and warm.

Suitable For

• Diabetic foot syndrome following a plantar ulcer or lesion.
• Superficial wounds and wounds extending to the tendon or capsule.
• Plantar ulcers in the forefoot area.
• Forefoot necrosis and conditions following toe amputation.
• Partial forefoot amputation, including single toe removal where the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe is preserved.

Usage Notes

The shoe is delivered without insoles. An insole set containing three insoles with different Shore hardness levels may be used as an interim solution. For long-term treatment, the shoe should be used with a diabetic foot orthotic.
