How Foot Defender Helps Treat and Protect Wounds
Foot Defender is a protective boot designed to decrease the forces applied to the foot and ankle when walking or standing. It provides a superior offloading of the foot to assist in wound healing.
Foot Defender is the best of biomechanical engineering, modern footwear design, and patented manufacturing techniques. Using state of the art textiles, advanced engineering, and proprietary materials for force reduction and impact attenuation, Foot Defender provides an enhanced protective environment for foot wounds. Foot Defender is the easy to use, stylish device that people want to wear.
Treats & Protects
Foot Defender is the first and only protective boot built from the ground up to specifically address the most complex foot care issue: diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) treatment. It is designed specifically to reduce force on the bottom of the foot with enhanced technology proven to offload more pressure than its competitors. In clinical studies for DFU patients, Foot Defender alleviates average contact pressure across the foot by up to 50% as compared to other protective boots on the market.
Other Orthopedic Uses
Foot Defender also shortens the recovery duration for fractures and other foot traumas that require force and pressure reduction to allow for healing, including non displaced fractures, stress fracture, sprains, ligament injuries, contusions, post surgical needs, and growth plate injuries.
