The Richie Ulcer Guard, designed to prevent and treat diabetic foot ulcers, is a patch that can be readily attached to footwear opposite an area of concern on the diabetic foot: a callus, for example. The Richie Ulcer Guard provides targeted relief to the ulcerated area by reducing friction, shear stresses, and heat transmitted to the foot when patients are on their feet—without losing or changing the support of a properly contoured shoe or orthotic device. The Richie Ulcer Guard features ShearBan technology from Tamarack Habilitation Technologies, an ultra-thin, low friction interface material that has been demonstrated to relieve skin trauma caused by friction.
