One of the main symptoms of diabetes mellitus patients is the lack of feeling in their feet. The lack of protective pain perception means that diabetics can easily develop foot ulcers, which can lead to amputation. Diabetics have a 20 times greater risk of foot amputation. Now an IST project, Diafoot, has developed an enhanced method of monitoring diabetic patients' feet using advanced data logging and communication technologies.
Compression Molding is the process that molds molten plastic,
through compression, into the intended shape of the mold.
Compression molding is the only plastic molding process that
can mold thermoset plastics. The plastics that are used in
compression molding include polypropylene, urethane systems
as well as a variety of foam systems. We also apply injection
mold technology in making diabetic insoles. |
