EN Use

specialised medical personnel.
Determining the correct shoe size is very impor-
tant for the functionality of the shoe. The shoe
is worn in pairs.
1. Determine the correct shoe size from the
insole length.
2. Open the shoe. The hook and loop fastener
allows the Healing Shoe to be opened and
closed quickly and easily.
3. The tried and tested 4-layer sole system
is part of the delivery (Fig. 2) and can be
processed individually (Fig. 6). All four insoles
must always be in the shoe.
4. Position the foot with socks or bandage
comfortably in the shoe.
5. Close the hook and loop straps so the foot is
firmly secured.
Ulcer marking and cutting the soles:
1. Place a sterile film on the wound or pressure
ulcer (Fig. 3) and circle the affected area
on the film with the marker pen provided
(Fig. 4).

2. The patient should now stand up on the
insole in the shoe(s) so the ulcer marks the
upper layer of the insole.

through the top layer using a pointed object,
thus defining the cutout to be formed
(Fig. 5).
4. Now draw the cutouts to be removed on the
underside of the layers, as described in Fig. 7.
