Product Description

Slimflex Simple High Density 3/4 Length - for Pronated Feet

The Slimflex Simple High Density 3/4 Length Orthotic Insoles are a preferred choice among healthcare professionals, including the NHS, for their robust support and ease of customisation. These insoles are designed to offer superior support and durability, making them ideal for individuals with more demanding foot health needs.

Key Features and Benefits

Customisation for Individual Needs

The high customisability of Slimflex Simple High Density insoles is a significant advantage, especially for the NHS. Customising insoles is vital for addressing specific foot conditions and anatomical differences, ensuring each patient receives tailored support. This customisation enhances comfort, corrects foot alignment, and reduces pain.

Material and Design

These insoles are made from high-density EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), which offers excellent support and durability. This material is ideal for providing robust support while maintaining flexibility. The 3/4 length design ensures a comfortable fit in most types of footwear without adding unnecessary bulk.

Support for Various Foot Conditions

The Slimflex Simple High Density insoles are particularly effective in managing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet and are suited to highly pronated feet. The high-density EVA material provides firm support to reduce foot strain and alleviate discomfort. These insoles help distribute pressure evenly, offering relief for individuals with significant foot pain.

Biomechanical Benefits

Improving foot biomechanics is essential for overall body alignment and preventing injuries. These insoles support the arches and stabilise the heel, promoting better posture and gait. By addressing overpronation and other alignment issues, they help reduce the risk of developing further musculoskeletal problems.

Achilles Tendonitis Support

These high density orthotics reduce the strain placed on the Achilles tendon by controlling excessive movements that may cause torque (twisting) or excessive load on the tendon itself.

Ease of Use

The 3/4 length design makes these insoles easy to fit into various types of shoes, from casual footwear to specialised orthopaedic shoes. They are simple to insert and remove, and their maintenance is straightforward, ensuring long-lasting use and effectiveness.

Clinical Endorsement and Trust

The NHS's endorsement of Slimflex Simple High Density insoles underscores their reliability and effectiveness. Healthcare professionals rely on these insoles to provide consistent results for patients, reinforcing their reputation as a trusted solution for foot care.

How to Customise the Insoles

1. Assessment: Conduct a thorough assessment of the patient’s foot structure and specific needs. Identify areas of high pressure, misalignment, and any specific pain points.
2. Trimming: If necessary, trim the insoles to fit the patient's shoe size. Follow the guidelines marked on the insole for accurate trimming.
3. Heat Moulding: For additional customisation, the insoles can be heat moulded. Gently heat the insole using a specialised heat gun and mould it to the patient’s foot shape. Allow the insole to cool while maintaining the desired shape.
4. Additions: For specific conditions, additional components such as metatarsal pads, heel lifts, or arch supports can be added. Use medical-grade adhesive to attach these components securely.
5. Fitting: Place the customised insole in the patient’s shoe and have them walk to ensure proper fit and comfort. Make any necessary adjustments based on their feedback.
6. Pro Usage tips: Use a Slimflex Simple HD ¾ length with a 5 degree rear-foot medial wedge (MOSI) and a 2mm perforated EVA cover to treat a tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction. Use Slimflex Simple HD when the device is exposed to extreme loading (running) and with heavier patients. Try Slimflex Simple HD with a Poron Vive and Orthabrelle top cover to extend the life of the Orthotic. Apply an Arch Adjusted Rearfoot edge to treat a medially deviated STJ axis.

Patient Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Remove the insoles from the shoes and wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the insoles in water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them into the shoes.
• Regular Inspection: Check the insoles regularly for signs of wear and tear. Replace them as needed to ensure continued support and comfort.
• Storage: Store the insoles in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or high temperatures, which can degrade the material.

Their high-density design and durable material make them suitable for everyday use, providing essential support and comfort. Trusted by the NHS and healthcare professionals, these insoles are a reliable choice for maintaining and improving foot health.
