Innovative tool offloads painful foot lesions, suggesting a cost-effective solution for better mobility.
Painful plantar lesions such as corns and warts create focal pressure points that can lead to discomfort, altered gait, and secondary musculoskeletal strain. Conventional offloading options like silicone insoles are often costly and not universally accessible. We propose the use of a Hitlon sheet as a simple, cost-effective, and customizable pressure offloading tool.
