Since diabetics have poor healing this condition may lead to a more serious state of infection such as gangrene. Long Term Management Orthotics Plantar ulcers can be treated by full length foam orthotics individually moulded to each foot. This full contact orthotic distributes pressure evenly.
Indentations relieve pressure under ulcerated area, enhancing the healing process.
