Kerraped® Plantar Ulcer, a shoe system designed to mechanically offload pressure from the ulcer and peri-ulcer area. It uses a unique insole that can be easily adapted to individual requirements, providing a tailored solution without the prohibitive cost of traditional bespoke footwear. It has been shown to reduce the pressure on at-risk areas by up to 75%.

An estimated 2.7 million people in the UK live with diabetes, and around 12–25%¹ of them suffer foot ulcers as a result – which, if left untreated, can lead to amputation.
