Across the UK, over 700,000 people are affected by pressure ulcers each year, at a cost of £3.8 million every day to the NHS1. With an ageing population – as well as increasing prevalence of conditions such as diabetes, heart and kidney diseases, peripheral vascular disease, Alzheimer’s and lower limb oedema – prevention has been more important than ever to reduce waiting lists and improve the lives of those affected.

Podiatry, Orthotic Therapy, Materials, Health and Wellbeing Solutions

Algeos.com is the UK’s trusted provider of podiatry, orthotic therapy, physiotherapy and rehabilitation products, delivering a comprehensive range of solutions that enhance health, mobility and wellbeing. Known for quality and innovation, Algeos supports healthcare professionals and individuals with products designed to meet diverse clinical and personal needs, from foot care to sensory processing solutions.

Orthotic insoles and advanced materials

Algeos offers an extensive selection of orthotic insoles from Slimflex and Interpod, and customisable orthotic materials, designed to meet the precise needs of podiatrists, orthotists, technicians and a range of other industries. The materials range includes foams like Aortha EVA and PORON. Algeos also supplies thermoplastics and carbon composites, versatile options used in creating custom foot orthotics.

In addition to medical foams, Algeos provides multi-density materials which allow layering for tailored support, ideal for applications that require different levels of firmness. This approach is particularly beneficial for conditions like plantar fasciitis, where targeted heel cushioning can reduce pressure, or arch pain - where additional support can relieve discomfort in the medial arch.

With a wide variety of materials from our main brand Aortha including cork, fabric coverings, leather and neoprenes, Algeos supports practitioners who need traditional or hybrid materials that provide both natural support and flexibility. These options are valued for their breathability and resilience, making them suitable for patients seeking shock absorption alongside long-lasting comfort.

Podiatry clinic supplies and footcare essentials

Algeos is a trusted supplier of wide range of podiatry products including sterile instruments, infection control solutions, dressings and advanced footcare products. Items like creams, instruments and gels help practitioners maintain foot health and manage conditions relating to the foot biomechanics, dermatology, toes and toenail surgery.

Sensory and SEN products

Algeos offers specialised products for sensory processing and SEN support, catering to individuals with sensory needs and children with ADHD or autism. The range includes sensory seating, paediatric insoles and other supportive products, providing solutions for schools, clinics, and therapists to help children maintain better posture, focus, and comfort in both classroom and therapeutic environments.

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation

Algeos’ physiotherapy and rehabilitation range includes essential equipment such as resistance bands, balance boards, wobble cushions and foam rollers from Physioworx, which support strength training, balance, and recovery. These products benefit both patients post-surgery and athletes focused on rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Additional aids, like massage balls, are ideal for relieving muscle tension and improving circulation, providing essential tools for physiotherapists and individuals focused on holistic rehabilitation.

Diabetic foot management

Algeos is dedicated to supporting diabetic foot management with a selection of products designed to diagnose, protect sensitive areas and relieve discomfort, including Diaped, BlueDop, DARCO and Hadeco. These products assist healthcare professionals in managing diabetic foot complications, offering greater comfort and peace of mind to patients who require specialised foot protection.

Pressure care and ulcer prevention

Algeos provides a comprehensive range of pressure care products aimed at preventing pressure ulcers, particularly for individuals at risk due to prolonged pressure on specific areas. Products include pressure relief cushions and supports from Levabo, which work by distributing weight evenly and alleviating pressure on vulnerable areas, contributing significantly to pressure ulcer prevention and enhanced patient comfort. The automatic lateral turning system, Turn All, by Levabo, is a recent addition to Algeos’ portfolio and is particularly well-suited to care environments.

Braces and supports for post-op and chronic conditions

Algeos offers a wide selection of shoes and fracture boots designed to assist individuals managing chronic conditions or recovering from surgery. From ankle and knee supports to wrist and back braces, these products provide stability and pain relief essential for musculoskeletal recovery. For instance, the Elevate 360 Drop Foot Brace is particularly useful for individuals dealing with foot drop, helping them regain mobility and confidence.

Innovations in healthcare

Algeos is at the forefront of healthcare innovation, offering advanced technologies like 3D printing, gait analysis, and shockwave therapy. These solutions empower healthcare professionals to provide more precise, effective, and personalised care to their patients, enhancing treatment outcomes across podiatry and rehabilitation.

Algeos brings 3D printing technology by Voxelcar to the orthotic and podiatry fields, allowing clinicians to create custom orthotic devices and insoles tailored to each patient’s unique foot structure. Both physiotherapists and podiatrists can benefit from advanced gait analysis technology from OptoGait, providing detailed analysis of patients’ gait that can help to diagnose and manage a range of indications. In partnership with Venn Healthcare, Algeos also provides shockwave therapy devices by Storz Medical, a trusted name in musculoskeletal pain treatment and injury rehabilitation

Commitment to healthcare professionals

Algeos partners closely with healthcare professionals, providing not only high-quality products but also training and resources, allowing clinicians to make informed decisions for patient care. Algeos’ commitment to podiatry, orthotics, rehabilitation, and sensory support positions it as a reliable partner in healthcare, dedicated to supporting professionals and patients alike.
