Heel Defender Orthotic Insoles Selected for Clinical  Trial

Defender Operations, South Miami, Florida announced its Heel Defender Orthotic Insoles have been selected for use in a clinical trial of a new treatment for Achilles tendonitis. The treatment entails the injection of a bioactive tissue matrix allograft to promote healing of chronic Achilles tendonitis. A Level 1 randomized, multicenter, blinded, controlled, clinical trial is currently under way to investigate the therapeutic results of this novel treatment.  Potentially, this therapy could help millions suffering from their painful and debilitating foot condition.

For best results from this new Achilles tendonitis treatment, it is important to reduce undue pressure on the affected heel while enabling patients to remain ambulatory.  Medical investigators chose the Heel Defender for this purpose.
