There is no one-treatment-fits-all approach when offloading patients suffering from non-healing ulcers. Without a clear method to analyze what exactly is happening inside the patient’s shoe, clinicians may start along a potentially time-consuming guess-and-check process, which can become a frustrating experience for all involved.

Ultra-thin force & pressure mapping technologies – such as the F-Scan in-shoe system – can be a powerful tool to help clinicians measure and track the effects of their offloading measures, offering objective data to help justify decisions.

In this lerEXPO presentation, David Sutton (certified pedorthist, clinical advisor, and owner of Bilby Shoes), shares a case study covering his strategy for offloading a patient suffering from a four-year reoccurring diabetic ulcer.
