Hapla Gold Felt - Antibacterial for Podiatry

Introducing the most advanced Hapla felt yet. Felt that is treated to fight bacteria and fungi.

Hapla Gold Felt is a high-quality footcare material specifically designed for use in podiatry to alleviate pressure, provide cushioning, and protect sensitive areas of the foot. Known for its superior resilience and durability, Hapla Gold Felt is an essential tool for managing various foot conditions such as corns, calluses, and pressure ulcers. Its robust construction and versatile application make it a preferred choice for podiatrists and foot care specialists.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Superior Cushioning and Pressure Relief

Hapla Gold Felt is engineered to offer exceptional cushioning, making it ideal for redistributing pressure across the foot. This is particularly important for patients suffering from conditions like corns, calluses, and ulcers, where reducing pressure on sensitive areas is crucial for pain relief and preventing further complications. The felt's dense composition ensures that it provides consistent support throughout its use.

2. High Durability and Longevity

One of the standout features of Hapla Gold Felt is its durability. The material is designed to withstand the rigours of daily wear, maintaining its cushioning properties even under significant stress. This makes it an excellent choice for long-term use, ensuring that patients receive sustained relief without frequent replacements.

3. Customisable for Targeted Application

Hapla Gold Felt is available in various thicknesses, allowing podiatrists to tailor its use according to the specific needs of each patient. The felt can be easily cut and shaped to fit different areas of the foot, whether it's used as a full insole, metatarsal pad, or smaller protective patch. This customisation ensures that the felt provides optimal relief exactly where it is needed most.

4. Self-Adhesive Backing for Secure Placement

To enhance its usability, Hapla Gold Felt features a self-adhesive backing that ensures it stays securely in place during wear. This is particularly beneficial for active individuals who require a reliable solution that won’t shift or lose effectiveness throughout the day. The adhesive is designed to hold firm, yet it can be removed gently without irritating the skin.

5. Hypoallergenic and Skin-Friendly

Hapla Gold Felt is made from hypoallergenic materials, making it safe for patients with sensitive skin. Its soft texture and breathable composition help prevent skin irritation, which is essential for individuals prone to allergies or skin conditions. Additionally, the felt is designed to wick away moisture, keeping the foot dry and comfortable.

Applications of Hapla Gold Felt

1. Managing Corns and Calluses

Hapla Gold Felt is particularly effective in managing corns and calluses by providing a cushioning layer that reduces pressure and friction. This helps to alleviate pain and prevent the condition from worsening, offering patients immediate relief and long-term protection.

2. Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Care

For patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers, particularly those with diabetes, Hapla Gold Felt provides a protective barrier that redistributes pressure away from vulnerable areas. This can help prevent the formation of ulcers and support the healing process for existing ones.

3. Post-Surgical Protection

In the post-operative setting, Hapla Gold Felt can be used to cushion and protect surgical sites, reducing the risk of pressure-related complications and promoting faster healing. Its softness and cushioning properties make it an ideal material for use during recovery.

4. Everyday Foot Comfort

Beyond medical applications, Hapla Gold Felt is also suitable for enhancing everyday foot comfort. It can be used in insoles or as padding in specific areas of footwear to provide additional cushioning and support, making it ideal for individuals who spend long hours on their feet.
