No bad odours
Foot Care: To relieve pressure on specific areas of the foot, often for patients with diabetes or other conditions that make them prone to ulcers.
Bedsores Prevention: Placed on beds, wheelchairs, or other surfaces to prevent pressure ulcers for bedridden and immobile patients.
Orthopedic Support: Used inside shoes or other orthotic devices to cushion and protect areas of the body that experience high pressure.
Introduction & Description
Off-loading pressure from chronic wounds & ulcers will now help
- 400 Million People have diabetes 5% of which have ulcers and cost more than 15% of healthcare resources.
- Repeated pressure on a body point always triggers ulcers.
- 70% of lower limb amputations are performed on diabetic patients.
- 85% of amputations are a consequence of ulcers.

Additional Features & Modes of Action
Replacement is rarely recommended by the medicals due to the need for follow-ups, investigating wound status and progression of wound healing, rarely due to felt damage.
The correct application of Vero-Felt by the practitioner automatically redistributes pressure. Vero-Felts releases pressure forces from the ulcer and distributes pressure towards the healthy surrounding area, which gains support from the semi-rigid Vero-Felt parts sticking to it.
The Wound / Ulcer is kept on flotation mode (with no direct pressure) to allow proper and healthy healing.
The support of the healthy surrounding area parts, by the semi-rigid feature allows to “Give Way” for mobility, movement, and when walking.
The Heavy Duty/ Heavy Weight feature allows perfected protection even when extra pressure is pushed on Vero-Felts without a bottoming-down effect. This impedes wounds and ulcers from contacting hard surfaces or being pressed upon thus staying pressure-free.
Applications & Indications
- Indicated for offloading and isolating wounds, neuropathic ulcers; neuro-ischaemic ulcers.
- Can be applied to all body areas, in addition to plantar and lateral areas of the body and foot where off-loading is required.
- Indicated for infected ulcers.
- To be used to offload pressure inside total contact casts.
- Not indicated for ischemic ulcers or ulcers located on the dorsal area of the foot.
- Easy monitoring when replacement takes place.
- The effectiveness of pressure offloading felts depends on their correct placement and the material’s ability to conform to the body’s contours, ensuring even pressure distribution.
- Other indications are in podiatry and chiropractor practice
Felts are safe and can be applied to all body parts
Warning
- Do not cover the ulcer with felt.
- Applying with unopened discharge can cause window edema.
- Avoid covering fingers with felts.
- Only apply sufficient felt thickness.
