The silicone medical heel cup designed to reduce pressure and cushion the heel in cases of heel spur and plantar fasciitis. Size S for footwear 36–40. First-use adhesive and trimmable for fitting in the shoe last.
Size S: suitable for footwear 36–40. Presentation: heel cup for individual use; consult the distributor's commercial reference for unit or pair formats.
The structure combines a high-performance elastomer (Physio’Choc™) with silicone, creating a flexible piece that absorbs impacts and redistributes loads in the rear foot. It is indicated as a conservative measure for relieving pain associated with heel spur and plantar fasciitis, as well as for reducing microtraumas from impact during walking and low to medium impact activities. Material and mechanism: 76% Physio’Choc™ elastomer provides viscoelastic capacity to dissipate kinetic energy; 24% silicone offers adaptability to the heel morphology and a pleasant surface for skin contact. Action and objective: cushioning is immediate upon placement, with a continued effect during walking. The main objective is the functional recovery of the rear foot and the reduction of pain from compression and impact; its use can be integrated into rehabilitation programs, in fitness routines with moderate loads, and as a preventive measure in active populations and older adults. Recommended user profile: individuals in rehabilitation for fasciitis or heel spur, older adults with rear foot pain, users with recreational or fitness physical activity seeking impact control, and low to medium impact athletes (walking, hiking, functional training) needing local support. Compatibility with nutritional strategies: as a non-food medical device, it does not alter diets (keto, vegan, or others) nor interacts with sports supplements or vitamins; it can be part of a recovery plan that includes sports nutrition, multivitamins, protein shakes, or vitamin supplements to optimize tissue repair and muscle recovery. Use in sports and anti-doping context: being a solid non-administered medical product, it does not contain prohibited substances and is not listed in anti-doping controls; its use should not interfere with participation in competitions. Fit and adaptability: the piece incorporates a protective film over the adhesive for first use; the geometry allows it to be trimmed with scissors to fit narrow lasts without compromising the cushioning function. Maintenance and lifespan: simple cleaning with warm water and neutral soap maintains properties; avoid direct heat sources and solvents. Usage indications: symptomatic and preventive treatment of impact overloads on the heel, complementing physical and orthopedic therapy in rehabilitation programs.

What conditions is this heel cup indicated for?
Indicated for symptomatic relief in heel spur and plantar fasciitis, reduction of discomfort from overload, and as a preventive measure against microtraumas from impact in the rear foot.
What effect does it have and how long does it take to notice?
The cushioning and pressure redistribution are immediate upon placement, with progressive pain reduction in days or weeks depending on chronicity and other associated therapeutic measures.
Is it compatible with sports use and sports nutrition programs?
Yes; the heel cup is suitable for low and medium impact activities and can be integrated into recovery programs alongside sports supplements, protein shakes, and sports nutrition strategies.
Can it be used in sports competitions?
As a non-administered medical device, it does not contain doping substances; its use is not restricted from an anti-doping perspective.
Is it necessary to trim it to fit the footwear?
If the piece is too wide for the last, the design allows it to be trimmed with scissors; it is recommended to maintain the integrity of the central cushioning area.
Can it be used in diabetic patients?
In diabetics with neuropathy, arteritis, or vascular problems, medical evaluation and monitoring of skin condition during use are advised.
How is it cleaned and what is its durability?
Clean with warm water and neutral soap; air dry. Avoid washing machines, dryers, and exposure to heat sources. Durability depends on frequency of use and load conditions; observe loss of adhesion or deformation as signs for replacement.
Can it cause allergies?
Contains elastomer and silicone; if there is a known allergy to either of these materials, its use is contraindicated.
Before first use, remove the protective film covering the adhesive. The heel cup is positioned in the shoe cavity so that the cushioning area aligns with the anatomical heel. In narrow footwear, the piece can be adapted by trimming the edges with scissors; the central section should remain intact to maintain the cushioning function. Initial adhesion is achieved with the film removed; fixation may decrease over time and with hygiene, so it is common to reposition or replace the piece when loss of adherence or deformation is observed. For cleaning, apply warm water and neutral soap, rinse, and let air dry. Avoid washing machines, dryers, and exposure to heat sources.
