Facts & Figures Treatment Comparison and Study Results The Modern Alternative to the Total Contact Cast System integrated with a vacuum cushion, filled with small styrofoam beads which has the ability to mould perfectly to individual patient anatomy. ● When air is removed from the vacuum cushion it forms to the shape of the limb, completely off-loading and providing a total contact surface which effectively supports the foot whilst relieving pressure. Air can be let back into the vacuum cushion to repeat this process whenever desired, ensuring ideal form fitting at all times. Application procedure can be performed at any time, making the vacuum system an entirely more efficient way of treating patients. Pressure Relief The intensity of pressure depends on two variables. force surface area Vacuum cushion air inflated, soft Vacuum cushion vacuum, stable VACOped Diabetic –> VACOped Diabetic, VACOpedes Diabetic and VACOcast Diabetic take advantage of this situation the surface area increases the force decreases Pressure Relief – for the Patient, the Doctor and the Nursing Staff An even distribution of pressure and relieving load from the wound are crucial for the progress of a diabetic wound. This is what VACOped Diabetic, VACOpedes Diabetic and VACOcast Diabetic provide: a precisely shaped and stable bed for the foot. A vacuum cushion, encased in a light plastic shell can be adjusted to every shape of the foot and all types of deformities. This makes the Foot Range Diabetic the ideal orthoses for the treatment of diabetic foot syndrome. They are easy to use and designed to meet the needs of the patient whilst significantly reducing the workload for the nursing staff.

Facts & Figures Treatment Comparison and Study Results Stable as a Total Contact Cast VACOped Diabetic and VACOcast Diabetic offer cast-like stability, through their integration of a form fitting vacuum cushion and hard outer shell. A specially developed sole assures a natural and comfortable walking gait. In certain cases, the VACOped Diabetic ROM (Range of Motion) allows further off-loading e.g. when treating heal ulcers. Fixing at 10 deg. dorsal flexion further off-loads the heal. Biomechanical Study, BASiS Institute Munich Dipl. Phys. J. Mitternacht, Dr. P Schaff . Amplitude of flexion/extension...
