Description
The Impax grid technology that is made of pre-cut layers of plastazote foam. The bottom two layers of foam can be easily removed around affected areas, redistributing load away from healing ulcers. The key benefit in the design is that the top layer of foam stays in contact with the plantar surface of the foot, allowing no 'hot spots'. Impax Grid technology redistributes load away from healing ulcers. Easy to remove or replace Impax foam blocks Impax grid allows for a continuous plantar surface Plastazote foam has low shear Plastazote foam is easy to clean and maintain Indications for treatment of ulcerative or pre-ulcerative conditions of the foot Moderate to severe plantar fasciitis Postoperative Charcot foot Foot conditions that may require and will benefit from even distribution of body weight over the plantar surface of the foot Total contact replacement Casting Goals Reduce chance of amputation Patient Compliance Reduce chance of infection.Decrease pain symptoms.Reduce pressure on plantar ulceration.Reduce foot/ankle swelling and inflammation.
