Healing shoes are indispensable in fortifying positive surgical
results as well as in wound care applications. Features such as the
square toe design, low profile height, wide entry and distal
Meta-Shank, make the DARCO healing shoes extremely versatile.
Our shoes can be used for a wide range of applications from
postoperative care to diabetic foot care. Our broad product range
ensures that DARCO can provide the optimum support for the
therapy required.
Interchangeable Insoles Available
The majority of our healing shoes can be fitted with a modular
DARCO insole when needed. Whether it is a classic healing shoe,
an off-loading shoe or an all-purpose boot for short or long-term
therapies, the interchangeable insoles offer a clear advantage. In
conjunction with a proper fit, this feature ensures optimal pressure
relief and supports the patient’s mobility in everyday life.

There is strength in tranquility: In some cases, only the immobili sation
of the injured area will provide sustainable therapeutic healing.
DARCO has developed a wide range of medical devices that can be
used to securely position and fixate most parts of the body to
promote healing.
Perfect, Individual Fit
Positioning devices created by DARCO are highly adaptable to
facilitate a proper fit for your patient. The dorsal Body Armor® Night
Splint fixates the foot at an angle of 90° while at the same time,
offering a high level of comfort. The principle is simple: to prevent
equines deformities and the shortening of the Achilles tendon while
in a resting state or during convalescence.
For precise positioning and pressure off-loading V-M Orthotics Ltd
sell the Heelift® Suspension Boot range (for the prevention and
treatment of heel pressure ulcers) in a number of sizes and finishes.

Acute injuries of the foot require immediate treatment to facilitate
the best outcome. This is exactly why temporary orthopaedically
correct solutions for urgent care remain so important. In the case of
custom diabetic-adapted shoes, the best long-term solutions require
time and professional expertise. DARCO’s time tested proficiency
has allowed us to integrate the latest advancements and technology
into our products to continually improve the effectiveness of long
term solutions but even more importantly, to elevate the quality of
interim solutions. By combining therapeutic shoes with a large
selection of speciality insoles, DARCO has created a modular system
the can meet the needs of a broad range of patients.
Especially, Plantar Pressure Relief
The DARCO insole systems provide dependable off-loading solutions
for acute care and beyond. Our modular insole strategy allows for
selective plantar pressure relief. This is especially important after
forefoot and midfoot surgical procedures and addressing the unique
dynamics of the diabetic foot. We have developed an insole system
specifically for the diabetic foot. The diabetic patient is distinctively
more sensitive to plantar pressure and requires a system that can
be altered easily. We are continually seeking the most progressive
solutions for foot care and general wellbeing.
All of our insoles are sold individually.
