The Comfort Solution for the Diabetic Foot

Is there a diabetic who is not aware of the annoying skin problems, notably on the feet? Fissures, in some cases
as large as cracks, are the underlying cause of a multitude of clinical pictures, which may well necessitate
amputation if the remain untreated. Fissures are formed when the skin is dry (loss of hydration) or becomes
thicker (horny skin). And often diabetes is the underlying cause. Other factors can certainly also be the cause
or enhance the problems, including:

fat-removing, skin cleaning agents (e.g. soap), excessive washing, heat, cold, low humidity, exposure to UV
radiation, failure to drink enough fluids, skin diseases (neurodermatitis)
Neuropathy in diabetics leads to reduced secretion of sweat (dry skin) and often also reduces the sensation of
pain which then leads to an increased injury risk. The risk of sustaining dangerous wounds is further enhanced
by the fact that wound healing usually is clearly impaired because of disturbed blood circulation.

For this reason, the never-ceasing control, notably of the feet of diabetics, is of paramount preventative
importance in the management of diabetic patients.

A special role in the prevention play socks and shoes. Shoes should be comfortable to wear and have no hard tips
or internal seams. In general, there should be nothing inside the shoe that might expose the skin to any pressure.
The same applies to socks to socks for diabetics. Soft top and flat or or the absence of seams are basic
requirements.

BEST4FEET Silversocks and silver long socks for Diabetics offer these features and are the first product to provide
special antibacterial protection due to the incorporation of the Natural Silver Fibre.
Best4Feet long socks are the first and only ones that provide the comfort of activated circulation by the silverfibre to

Bacteria are what causes for instance inflammations of wounds. The antibacterial effect of silver kills these bacteria.
Therefore, the socks provide excellent protection against foot complications and are a dynamic and invincible factor
in foot care and prophylaxis for diabetics.

The advantages of the socks can be summarised as follows:

• Removal of foot odours, Anti-athlete¹s foot effect, Improvement of foot climate, Reduction of skin irritations,
