R & D : DIABETIC FOOTWEAR
OFF THE SHELF FOOTWEAR FOR LOW RISK
DIABETICS (NNEF & MVDRC)
• Therapeutic open footwear for the
diabetic patients with risk of foot problems
due to neuropathy.
• Footwear
reduces
the
abnormal
distribution of plantar foot pressure.
Features:
• Cow softy leather upper,
• PU unit moulded sole with extra depth to
provide larger area for more effective
pressure distribution.
• Outsole having special tread for better
grip and traction.
This technology was COMMERCIALIZED as
‘DIASTEP’
’ and the manufacturing license was
obtained by M/s MV Health Care.
