Taking a good idea to the next levelNew Products for Diabetic Foot Care

Klaveness are proud to announce their new Forefoot Relief, Heel Relief and Trauma Shoes - referred to as the Klaveness Medical Systems (KMS) range.

These bring refined shoe technology, superior function and improved appearance - taking this proven healing method to the

next level – and at a highly competitive price. Although designed with diabetic foot care in mind the orthotist or podiatrist will find these attractive designs applicable to many orthopaedic challenges.

Whether on the forefoot or hind-foot, diabetic foot ulcers can be difficult to treat and evidence shows that relief of pressure,

friction and shear is vital. Correctly prescribed shoes are proven

to be able to accelerate healing time. They are designed to reduce the pressure and shear around areas of risk or breakdown whilst allowing patient mobility.

The KMS design enhances the practicality of this approach by:-

• Optimising rocker position and pitch of the sole for each size – balancing the off-loading effect with walking and standing ability

• Enhancing the stiffness of the sole – this prevents unwanted twisting of the structure – a situation that leads to

elevated pressure and shear in other designs.

• Improving the quality of the shoe upper materials that are

selected so that the whole shoe functions as a unit - with no unwarranted flexing or collapse of the structure.

• Offering a footbed that is easy to replace or customise – prolonging the effective life of the shoe – and value for money.

• Improving user acceptance through a greatly improved “shoe like” appearance

New RangeChildrens Stock Shoes for Custom Insoles

Children who need special footwear want ordinary shoes. You know what we mean - ‘Cool’ shoes with a modern look, like the shoes other children wear. That is why we let experts in fashion, medicine and orthopaedics work together in developing our shoes.

Children’s shoes by Klaveness provide very good stability. They all have room for orthopaedic insoles and some models are suitable for use with orthoses.

In spite of having extra room for AFOs and bandages, Klaveness orthotic shoes for children look exactly like ordinary

footwear. With a long opening, greater volume and an insideloop, they are also easy to put on and comfortable to wear.

Our orthotic shoes may be purchased singly and they match other models in our children’s range.

Klaveness TechnologyFootlab Scanner

Correct sizing of orthopaedic footwear and footbeds is obviously vital but often seems to be problematic. Test fittings are sometimes used to get things right but they add delay and cost to the process. Why not aim to get things correct the first time?

The traditional techniques of taking a draft of the foot have been re-examined by Klaveness to improve the accuracy and reliability of the measurement process.

A Footlab Scanner has been produced to guide the orthotist through all of the steps. When combined with custom software, the result is accurate measures plus a valuable visual record of each foot which extremely useful as a clinical record. If required, last selection can be overlaid with the footscan to verify your selection.

For the greatest efficiency, the Footlab scanner can be combined with on-site fitting stock and ordering of shoes and footbeds can be organised directly over the web.

If you would like to see the Footlab scanner in action take a look at this on-line video.
