Recently we introduced the new ShearBan® Product Guide – a step-by-step installation technique and resource booklet developed to improve the users’ experience with ShearBan®. The Guide is available in print format upon request and will soon be downloadable online at www.shearban.com.
The most frequent un-asked question regarding ShearBan technology would have to be “When should ShearBan® be used?”
As a professional orthotist, prosthetist or pedorthists, you already incorporate pressure management techniques in your treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, calluses and blisters. After fabricating a custom ankle foot orthoses or prescribing extra depth footwear, it’s common practice to spot heat & stretch footwear & orthopedic devices around bony prominences of the foot & ankle. We believe the best practice is to include friction management along with pressure management in these scenarios. Proactively offloading high friction & shear areas will increase your ability to provide maximum orthopedic support.

After learning more about ShearBan®, we hope you decide that incorporating friction offloading techniques in your foot care practice is an essential step in the fight against diabetic foot ulcers.
