About this product
Foot wounds and ulcerations require targeted pressure relief to heal properly, but many patients struggle to remain mobile during recovery. The Darco Peg-Assist Insole delivers localized off-loading with removable pegs that reduce pressure by up to 60% on affected areas, allowing patients to stay ambulatory while protecting vulnerable tissue from further damage.

FAQs
Q: How do I know which pegs to remove for my specific wound location?
A: Consult your physician or wound care specialist to identify the precise off-loading zones. Remove pegs directly beneath and surrounding the wound site to eliminate contact pressure.
Q: Can I use this insole in my regular shoes?
A: No, the Peg-Assist is designed exclusively for use with Darco healing footwear (Heel Wedge, Ortho Wedge, or APB Boot) to ensure proper fit and off-loading effectiveness.
Q: What is the difference between Medium and Large sizes?
A: Size corresponds to your Darco healing shoe size. Match the insole size to your footwear to ensure the peg array aligns correctly with your foot anatomy.
Q: How long does the insole remain effective?
A: Lifespan depends on patient weight, activity level, and off-loading needs. Replace when pegs show permanent compression or the stabilizer board loses rigidity, typically within several weeks of daily use.
Q: Will the stabilizer board feel uncomfortable underfoot?
A: The stabilizer board sits beneath the peg layer and cushioning cover, distributing forces evenly. Most patients report improved stability rather than discomfort during ambulation.
