Podiatry Adhesive Felt 7mm, Pack of 4

Description

The 7mm Adhesive Podiatry Felt (FELTH07) is a professional-grade, semi-compressed padding designed for effective pressure redistribution and offloading in foot care. This high-performance felt is composed of a 70% wool and 30% viscose mixture, providing a superior balance of firmness and comfort. Its semi-compressed structure is specifically engineered to resist flattening under body weight, making it an ideal choice for creating custom orthotic build-ups and protective pads.

Each sheet features a high-quality, hypoallergenic adhesive backing that is both breathable and moisture-permeable, ensuring secure placement even during physical activity. The 7mm thickness offers significant depth for advanced offloading of painful areas such as corns, calluses, and bunions. Highly versatile, these sheets can be easily cut with sharp scissors into specific shapes (such as "donut" or "wing" pads) to surround and protect sensitive lesions from footwear friction.

Common Therapeutic Uses

• Pressure Offloading — Creating aperture pads to deflect pressure away from painful corns, calluses, and prominent joints.
• Metatarsalgia Relief — Fabricating custom metatarsal pads to redistribute weight away from the ball of the foot.
• Orthotic Modifications — Adding durable, firm cushioning to existing insoles or orthotic devices to improve foot function.
• Post-Operative Protection — Providing a soft yet structured barrier to protect sensitive surgical sites during recovery.
• Bunion & Hammertoe Cushioning — Reducing direct pressure and friction from footwear on bony prominences.

Features

• Semi-Compressed Mixture — 70% Wool / 30% Viscose blend ensures the padding maintains its thickness and structural integrity over time.
• Hypoallergenic Adhesive — Skin-friendly adhesive minimizes the risk of irritation, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin.
• Breathable & Absorbent — The felt is hygroscopic (absorbs perspiration), helping to keep the skin dry and healthy during wear.
• Easy to Customise — Large sheet size allows for precise cutting, shaping, and beveling to suit any foot anatomy.
• Latex-Free — Safe for use on individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities.
