Tamarack Protection Socks utilize GlideWearTM Technology to create a slippery, low-friction zone that protects at-risk areas of the feet from shear forces, which are a major factor responsible for soft tissue damage such as diabetic foot ulcers, calluses, blisters, and other painful wounds. This patented, medical-grade, low-friction fabric technology allows the skin to gently glide back and forth with bone movement in the at-risk areas, reducing friction forces by 50%–80%. These socks are also gas- and vapor-permeable, allowing the skin to breath and maintain its natural microclimate. The socks come in multiple sizes, cuff lengths, colors, and a variety of styles designed to protect specific locations on the feet: the forefoot (diabetic neuropathy); partial foot, especially for metatarsal amputations (diabetic neuropathy); heel and ankle (primarily for someone in bed for long periods); and midfoot (diabetic neuropathy–such as for the common Charcot foot).
