Who is this protector indicated for?

How does it work and how soon is the effect noticed?

Immediate local action upon placing the protector thanks to cushioning and pressure redistribution; reduction of friction pain is usually perceived from the first use.

Can it be used during exercise or competitions?

Suitable for training and recreational sports activity; as a non-food medical device, it is not subject to anti-doping regulations. For high-performance competitions, it is advisable to check specific event regulations.

Is it compatible with the use of orthoses or insoles?

High compatibility with most orthoses and insoles; the low height of the protector (1 mm) facilitates its integration, although in cases of bulky orthoses, shoe fit adjustment is recommended.

Can a diabetic person use it?

The presence of diabetes requires prior assessment by a healthcare professional. Contraindications: wounds, ulcers, or active infection in the area; in such cases, use is not appropriate until clinical evaluation.

Washable material with warm water and neutral soap; air dry avoiding direct heat sources. The useful life depends on frequency of use and care; with proper maintenance, it retains properties for several weeks to months.

Is there a risk of allergic reaction?
