Product Description

Managing diabetic foot ulcers, plantar wounds, and post-surgical healing requires precise pressure relief without sacrificing mobility. The Darco Peg-Assist Off-Loading Insole system delivers localized pressure reduction up to 60% through customizable removable pegs, enabling patients to remain ambulatory during wound recovery while protecting vulnerable tissue from further breakdown.

Key Features

  • Removable peg system allows targeted off-loading for wounds, ulcerations, and surgical sites on any area of the foot.
  • Reduces plantar pressure by up to 60% at wound sites while maintaining weight-bearing capability during daily activities.
  • Poron cushioning cover eliminates ring edema formation and edge abrasion that can develop around wound margins.
  • Integrated stabilizer board prevents adjacent pegs from collapsing under body weight, maintaining consistent pressure distribution.
  • Designed for use with Darco Square Toe Med-Surg Shoe for optimal fit and therapeutic effectiveness.
  • Available in seven sizes spanning men's 6-14 and women's 4-8+ to accommodate diverse patient populations.

FAQs

Q: How do I know which pegs to remove for my specific wound location?

A: Consult your wound care specialist or podiatrist to identify the exact ulcer site. Remove pegs directly beneath and immediately surrounding the wound area to create a pressure-free zone.

Q: Can I use this insole in my regular shoes instead of the Med-Surg shoe?

A: This system is engineered specifically for the Darco Square Toe Med-Surg Shoe. Using it in standard footwear may compromise the stabilizer board function and reduce therapeutic effectiveness.

Q: How long does the Poron cover typically last with daily use?

A: Durability varies by patient weight and activity level, but most users replace the insole every 4-8 weeks during active wound healing. Monitor for compression loss in the cushioning layer.

Q: Will insurance cover this insole under the A9283 code?

A: Many Medicare and private insurers provide reimbursement for off-loading devices under A9283 when prescribed for diabetic foot ulcers. Verify coverage with your insurance provider and obtain necessary authorization.

Q: What's the difference between men's and women's sizing?

A: Women's sizes run approximately 1.5-2 sizes smaller than men's. Choose based on your typical shoe size—Small women's fits 4-6, while Small men's fits 6-8.
