Key Features and Benefits

1. Dual-Layer Construction for Optimal Comfort

Hapla Foam-O-Felt features a unique dual-layer construction that blends the softness of felt with the resilience of foam. The felt layer provides a soft, breathable surface against the skin, while the foam layer offers excellent cushioning, absorbing shocks and redistributing pressure evenly across the foot. This combination is particularly effective in relieving pain and reducing the risk of further injury.

2. Pressure Redistribution

One of the standout features of Hapla Foam-O-Felt is its ability to redistribute pressure away from sensitive areas of the foot. This is especially important in managing conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, where excess pressure can lead to complications. The foam layer acts as a cushion, spreading the load evenly to help prevent new ulcers and support the healing of existing ones.

3. Customizable Fit

Hapla Foam-O-Felt is available in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 5mm to 10mm, allowing podiatrists to customize the fit for each patient. The material can be easily cut and shaped to fit specific areas of the foot, making it a versatile tool for treating a wide range of conditions.

4. Self-Adhesive Backing

The self-adhesive backing ensures that Hapla Foam-O-Felt stays securely in place throughout the day. This feature is especially beneficial for active individuals who need reliable support without worrying about the padding shifting or losing effectiveness.

5. Hypoallergenic and Skin-Friendly

Designed with patient safety in mind, Hapla Foam-O-Felt is hypoallergenic and reduces the risk of allergic reactions, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin. The breathable material helps keep the foot cool and dry, enhancing comfort and preventing skin breakdown.

6. Wide Range of Applications

Hapla Foam-O-Felt is versatile, commonly used to create custom orthotics, provide cushioning in footwear, and protect against pressure sores. It's also frequently used in post-operative care to protect surgical sites and promote healing.

Application Techniques

1. Preparing the Area

Ensure the skin is clean and dry before applying Hapla Foam-O-Felt to help the adhesive backing adhere properly.

2. Cutting and Shaping

Cut the material to the desired shape and size using sharp scissors. Round off the edges to prevent the felt from catching on socks or footwear.

3. Application

Remove the protective film from the adhesive backing and carefully apply the felt to the foot or inside the shoe, pressing firmly to ensure a secure bond.

4. Monitoring and Replacement

Replace Hapla Foam-O-Felt as needed, especially if it becomes compressed, worn, or loses its adhesive properties.

Hapla Foam-O-Felt offers superior cushioning and pressure relief compared to traditional padding materials. Its dual-layer construction and self-adhesive backing provide enhanced comfort and durability, making it ideal for active patients. The customizable fit allows for precise application, further enhancing its effectiveness in treatment.
