WELCOME TO MY PROJECT WORK

PRESENTATION

Studies on the Evolving of

Medicated Footwear for

Diabetic Patients

1. Designing and Construction of medicated footwear for

diabetic patients.

2. Learning about the materials used for making diabetic

footwear.

3. To make the people conscious about diabetic foot troubles

and footwear.

4. To know the prospect on diabetes of Bangladesh.

5. To learn diabetes mellitus.

6. To control the diabetes using medicated footwear.

7. To know about medicated footwear for diabetic holders.

8. To learn about various safety features that has

incorporated in diabetic footwear.

9. To learn about foot troubles due to diabetes and curing.

10.Diabetic holder’s foot and shoe care.

1. Increase of consciousness will happen among the

diabetic patients to keep their feet in safe.

2. The developed process would be ready for

commercialization to the entrepreneurs.

3. Complete functional footwear for diabetic patient will

be available in the market; new item will be

introduced into the footwear export basket.

╬ The deficiency or insufficient production of insulin leads to an

increased level of glucose in the blood. This condition is known

as Diabetes Mellitus.

╬ Diabetic shoe, which is sometimes referred to as extra depth

& width or therapeutic shoes, which are specially designed

shoes, or shoe inserts, intended to reduce the risk of skin

breakdown in diabetics with co-existing foot disease.

╬ Diabetes damages the nerves that can occur to the foot and

not be detected which is called peripheral neuropathy.

╬ Diabetes also affects the circulation. Poor circulation can

affect the ability of the body to heal when damage occurs.

╬ Ill-fitting shoes which rub or pinch the feet excessively can

lead to ulceration and foot injury that might cause amputation

of foot or leg.

╬ Diabetes can also affect the joints, making them stiffer.

╬ Other diabetes complications that can also affect the foot, for

example, kidney disease (affects proteins that are involved in

wound healing) and eye disease (can't see the foot to check

for damage).

Supple leather conforms to the contours of the foot, enhancing comfort.

Seamless lining, made of soft fabric, and padded with foam, provides

excellent protection.

The only diabetic prefab orthotic with rear foot support that offers an arch

filler and long lasting support.

Cushioning sole, with a true Toe-Spring design, softens the step, and

helps propel foot forward.

Extra-depth design offers a loose fit and freedom for toe movement.

Two removable spacers (1/16” and 1/8” thick) allow the adjustment of the

space inside the shoe for a perfect fit.

Hidden depth design offers the appearance of regular depth shoes.

1. SITRA developed 3d wrap knitted for insole/ liners in

combination of MCP.

2. Nylon for spacer materials for top layer of the insole. Silver

coated nylon was used as top layer to inbuilt anti-bacterial

property.

╬ SITRA insole satisfy the following tests:

• Cushioning Energy

• Compression Set

• Water absorption and Penetration resistance

• Shock absorbency

• Anti-bacterial property

1. Lack of awareness about Diabetes mellitus among

patients.

2. Economic condition of our people is not good enough to

get proper medication and proper footwear.

3. Strict diabetes control not given adequate importance by

patients.

4. Even many doctors are not even know the importance of

Diabetic footwear.(they take it lightly).

5. Less Diabetic footwear manufacturers.

6. No proper knowledge of diabetic footwear.

7. Lack of research in diabetic footwear.

8. If diabetic shoes are available, patients would buy

medicated shoe, as they faces problems normal footwear

creates problems.

9. Some canvas made shoes are used as diabetic shoe.

1. If the seamless lining are not made, seams are given always

outside of the shoe as the abrasive force is less felt in

outside.

2. Don’t use Neoprene adhesive in diabetic shoe

manufacturing as it make the seam more rigid and reduce

the breathability and rise the chances of shocking.

3. The third generation polyol adhesive, which is made from

bean can be used, it is already used in green footwear.

4. Insert disc like spindle of a microcellular into the heel to set

the shoe or feet uniformly in the rough surfaces which avoid

the trembling risk.

5. While padding, use a fabrics under the foam to trap the

produced heat above the ling layer, which reduces the heat

contact.

A comprehensive concept of the medical, functional

and technical requirements for this type of footwear is

still lacking till date. A proper research is really

needed today in order to control the situation. People

as well as doctors should be educated properly the

importance of this type of footwear.

As a person suffering from diabetes definitely need to

consider using Diabetic footwear, instead of normal

footwear. These types of footwear offer good feet

support and they are quite comfortable to wear. They

are good to keep your foot healthy and maintain a

good lifestyle.
