Panlin Footwear has been providing customers exclusively handcrafted customized Diabetic & Orthopaedic footwear for over a decade and we have worked very closely with doctors & podiatrists over the years to scientifically design footwear that is specially fabricated to suit all diabetic patients as well as patients requiring orthopedic care, correction & rehabilitation.Our products are made from high quality materials.
Our products exclusively limit stress at the areas of the foot most susceptible to pain, provides unsurpassed comfort and protection with unique features as hidden depth as well as soles that absorb shock. Light weight construction helps in providing maximum comfort, the soft microsoft leather upper is lined with a layer of MCP to prevent the skin from chafing. The MCP insole with arch support helps to accommodate different types of foot i.e., foot with medium, low and high arches.
Our products provide real relief to people with diabetics, those suffering from arthritis, heel pain, achilles tendonitis, metatarsalgia, arch pain, metatarsal pain and forefoot disorders. Diabetic Feet Heel Pain Arch Pain Lower Back Pain Knee Pain Corns & Bunions
Diabetic shoes, sometimes referred to as extra depth or therapeutic shoes, are specially designed shoes, or shoe inserts, intended to reduce the risk of skin breakdown in diabetics with co-existing foot disease.People with diabetic neuropathy in their feet may have a false sense of security as to how much at risk their feet actually are.[1] An ulcer under the foot can develop in a couple of hours. The primary goal of therapeutic footwear is to prevent complications, which can include strain, ulcers, calluses, or evenamputations for patients with diabetes and poor circulation.[2] Neuropathy can also change the shape of a person's feet, which limits the range of shoes that can be worn comfortably.[3] In addition to meeting strict guidelines, diabetic shoes must be prescribed by a physician and fit by a qualified individual, such as an orthotist,podiatrist or pedorthist. The shoes must also be equipped with a removable orthotic. Foot orthotics are devices such as shoe inserts, arch supports, or shoe fillers such as lifts, wedges and heels. The diabetic shoes and custom-molded inserts work together as a preventative system to help diabetics avoid foot injuries and improve mobility.

Diabetic foot ulcer is a major complication of diabetes mellitus, and probably the major component of thediabetic foot. It occurs in 15% of all patients with diabetes and precedes 84% of all lower leg amputations.[1]Major increase in mortality among diabetic patients, observed over the past 20 years is considered to be due to the development of macro and micro vascular complications, including failure of the wound healingprocess.[citation needed] Wound healing is an innate mechanism of action that works reliably most of the time. A key feature of wound healing is stepwise repair of lost extracellular matrix (ECM) that forms the largest component of the dermal skin layer.[2] Controlled and accurate rebuilding is essential to avoid under- or over-healing that may lead to various abnormalities. But in some cases, certain disorders or physiological insult disturbs the wound healing process. Diabetes mellitus is one such metabolic disorder that impedes the normal steps of the wound healing process. Many histopathological studies show a prolonged inflammatory phase in diabetic wounds, which causes a delay in the formation of mature granulation tissue and a parallel reduction in wound tensile strength.[3]Non-healing chronic diabetic ulcers are often treated with extracellular matrix replacement therapy. So far, it is a common trend in diabetic foot care domain to use advanced moist wound therapy, bio-engineered tissue or skin substitute, growth factors and negative pressure wound therapy.[4] No therapy is completely perfect as each type suffers from its own disadvantages. Moist wound therapy is known to promote fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation and migration, collagen synthesis, early angiogenesis and wound contraction. [5] To address the physiological deficiencies underlying diabetic ulcer, various tissue engineering technologies have come up with cellular as well as acellular skin replacement products.
Steps to prevent diabetic foot ulcers include frequent chiropody review, good foot hygiene, diabetic socks[7][8] and shoes, as well as avoiding injury.Foot-care education combined with increased surveillance can reduce the incidence of serious foot lesions.[9]Footwear.All major reviews recommend special footwear for patients with a prior ulcer or with foot deformities. One review added neuropathy as an indication for special footwear.
