ENABLING YOU TO PREVENT DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS
ENABLING YOU TO PREVENT DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy affects a significant portion of individuals with diabetes, leading to a loss of sensation in the feet. This condition increases the risk of developing foot ulcers, which can result in lower limb amputations.
- 70% of people with diabetes develop peripheral neuropathy.
- 49% of foot ulcers lead to lower limb amputation.
- 49% of foot ulcers recur within 12 months, and 68% within 5 years.
Custom insoles equipped with sensors monitor pressure, temperature, and activity. They provide real-time audiovisual alerts and offloading instructions when high pressure levels are detected. This sensory data helps guide care plans to maintain foot health.
A multi-site clinical study demonstrated an 86% reduction in foot ulcer recurrence when Orpyx SI technology was used for at least 4.5 hours per day.

ENABLING YOU TO PREVENT DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS 70% of people with diabetes develop diabetic peripheral neuropathy1, a condition that results in loss of feeling in the feet. 1 in 5 This inability to feel pain and respond to tissue damage can often lead to foot ulcers. foot ulcers will result in lower limb amputation2 49% of foot ulcers recur within 12 months and 68% within 5 years.3 A multi-site clinical study showed an 86% reduction in foot ulcer recurrence when Orpyx SI technology was worn at least 4.5 hours / day.4 Custom insoles incorporate sensors to monitor pressure, temperature and activity. Provides real-time audiovisual alerts and offloading instructions when sustained, high pressure levels occur. You and your health care provider use this sensory data to guide your care plan to keep your feet healthy.
