CALZASANO, S.L.It has begun to distribute in Spain the therapie footwear, special for diabetic feet and people affected by other evils such as arthritis, arterial hypertension, circulatory problems (venous and chronic arterial insufficiency), obesity and smoking ...
The feet are the most remote part of the heart and, because of this, it is a particularly sensitive point in case of circulatory problems.This is aggravated when there are other circumstances, such as diabetes.Although diabetes is the cause of many serious complications, such as renal failure and blindness, it is the lesions of the foot that charged a greater number of victims.In fact, 70% of lower limb amputations are related to diabetes.
People with diabetes have a high risk of nerve injuries (neuropathy) and blood irrigation problems (ischemia).Both problems can lead to foot ulcers and wounds that are cured slowly and their infection can end in amputation.In fact, most amputations begin with a foot ulcer
In developed countries, up to 5% of people with diabetes have foot ulcers and one in six people with diabetes will have an ulcer throughout their lives.Foot problems are the most common cause of hospital admission to people with diabetes.
Frequently, people with nerve injuries suffer wounds because they do not feel sufficient pain to warn that there are problems.Many ulcers are caused by a pebble in a shoe, by the internal seams of the footwear, by sharp objects that have been able to cross the sole of the shoe, by ampoules produced by a shoe too tight or by burns.Walking barefoot greatly increases the risk of serious injuries because people can step on a sharp object or stumble, damaging their fingers.
Once the nerves are injured due to diabetes, sensitivity cannot be recovered.Insensitive feet need to protect themselves from abnormal pressure that, if not avoided, will cause ulcers again.The treatment consists of reducing pressure.There are many available therapies, which range from simple bed to the use of mechanisms such as special plaster.When blood irrigation fails, treatments can be applied that discourage blood vessels or that improve blood flow.Foot infections should be treated with appropriate antibiotics, if they are available.Sometimes it is also necessary to remove infected tissues.
Therapie footwear has been developed by technological institutes to adapt exactly to what a diabetic foot needs.This is what differentiates it from other shoes.Among its characteristics, it should be noted that it is completely padded, which provides maximum comfort;It has beef leather lining, without seams, to avoid injuries;The buttress is reinforced to avoid heel deviations;The ample last prevents fingers in the fingers and allows the use of its own templates when necessary;The flat sole, 100% solid, provides balance when walking and is equipped with points to absorb the impacts on the heel and metatarsal;In addition, it is served with two templates (only one or both can be used, depending on the needs of each person): a magnetic, which improves bloodstream and temperature and an antibacterial, which provides a better adjustment.
Therapie shoes are already selling successfully in countries such as Canada, the United States and various Latin American countries.The points of sale in Spain can be found on page .
