Darco Body Armor Heel Reliever

The Darco Body Armor Heel Reliever helps in the prevention and cure of hieldecubitus and diabetic foot syndrome and pressure ulcers. The pressure on the heel is redistributed to the Achilles tendon and the gastrosoleus complex in the calf. As a result, the heel area is completely free of contact pressure; The heel “floats”. The relief shoe is universally wearable by the One-Size-Fits-All and can be used for both the left side and the right side. In addition, the shoe is made of a high-quality foam with beveled edges and corners that prevent pressure at the edges.
