Features
Please note Vasyli orthotics are only available to wholesale customers
The Vasyli-Armstrong Diabetic orthotic addresses the key problem areas for the diabetic foot – shearing / friction and pressure. By utilizing patented Glidesoft® technology, this unique combination of construction and materials has been scientifically shown to reduce shear pressures by over 50%* and the onset of plantar ulcers by over 70%**, compared to conventional diabetic insoles.
The dorsal surface of the Vasyli-Armstrong orthotic moves with the plantar surface of the foot. This dramatically reduces shearing/frictional forces. This in-turn assists In the reduction of skin lesions and the potential for infection/ulceration.
Glidesoft® technology reduces shear force by at least 50% compared to a standard comfort insole.
Unique Material Combination
- Outlast® constant temperature material cover
- Plastazote layer
- (heat moldable and 100% plantar surface contact)
- Shock absorbing layer
- Teflon® layer
- EVA base layer (heat moldable)
