Memopur Control PU Orthopaedic Insoles

Product Description

Memopur Control Polyurethane Orthopedic Insoles

Foot support and shock absorption for heavy and highly active patients - dispensed by NHS Practitioners 

Memopur Control insoles are manufactured from German-quality polyurethane (Shore A35) to provide long-lasting cushioning and support that won’t bottom out under high loads. 

Suitable for athletes and heavier patients where EVA frequently compresses and loses function.

Popular with NHS practices due the ability to easily modify and adapt.

Key Features

• Material: Memopur polyurethane maintains shape and resiliency under repeated impact.
• Support Profile: Heel-to-toe supporting cushion with consistent arch support.
• Rearfoot Control: Standard 18mm heel cup and 28mm valgus height for stable positioning.
• Fit: Progressive forefoot taper (5 mm to 3 mm) for easier shoe accommodation.
• Hygiene: Machine washable up to 40 °C.
• Customisable: Accepts metatarsal pads, wedges and top covers.

Clinical Benefits

• Durability for high demand: PU resists permanent compression - extending functional life in heavy or very active users.
• Impact reduction: Consistent shock absorption helps reduce loading through heel - midfoot and forefoot during walking, running and jumping.
• Load distribution: Helps spread body weight more evenly to reduce localised pressure and irritation.
• Arch integrity: Supports medial arch mechanics to assist plantar fascia and posterior tibial tendon function.
• Gait control: Assists management of overpronation and supination to improve foot alignment.
• Lower friction surface: Smooth in-shoe interface helps limit shear, hotspots and blistering.

Technical Specification

Indications

• Plantar fasciitis
• Flat feet (pes planus)
• High arches
• Overpronation
• Supination (underpronation)
• Metatarsalgia
• Diabetic foot conditions (where reduced friction and pressure control are beneficial)
• Arthritic feet

Patient Profiles

• Heavier patients: Require materials that resist compression and retain corrective function.
• Very active patients: Running, field sport, HIIT or occupations with prolonged standing and loading.

Fitting & Use

1. Place insole into footwear to assess volume - the tapered forefoot aids fit in standard athletic and work shoes.
2. Evaluate rearfoot control via heel cup and valgus height - confirm improved midfoot stability and neutral alignment.
3. Add metatarsal pads or wedges as required for forefoot off-loading or frontal plane control.
4. Consider a moisture-absorbing top cover for patients with hyperhidrosis or for multi-hour daily wear.
5. Advise routine inspection and cleaning; machine wash at 40 °C if needed - air dry only.

Why Polyurethane for High Load Cases

• Compression set resistance: Maintains thickness and support after repeated cycles.
• Energy management: Absorbs and returns appropriately to reduce cumulative tissue stress.
• Predictable lifespan: More consistent performance over months of heavy use compared with typical EVA.

Clinical Notes

• Use for patients who have prematurely flattened EVA devices or who report rapid loss of cushioning.
• Pair with targeted strengthening and load-management strategies for plantar fascia, posterior tibial tendon and Achilles.
• Monitor pressure hotspots in diabetic or neuropathic patients - add top cover or pads to optimise shear and pressure profiles.
