Our Diabetic Socks Will Change the Lives of your Patients!
Written by Brian Lane, C.Ped
So, you’ve just provided another pair of Dr. Comfort® shoes and your patient is wearing cheap, holey socks? Time for an upgrade! These socks are going to change their life!
The Dr. Comfort® socks are called “diabetic” socks, but, unlike the shoes, there are no standards for diabetic socks. However, we do have a few we feel are important. The features include a ventilated airflow mesh top which keep the feet cool; nano-bamboo charcoal to promote wicking which keep feet dry; an arch band to prevent bunching; and materials which promote stretch in case of minor swelling and for comfort. We also offer a variety of sizes to accommodate the various types of feet and needs of you patients. In addition, Dr. Comfort® socks are available in many different designs—merry jane, no show, ankle, crew, over the calf extra roomy and transmet socks for your patients with a transmet amputation.
My last recommendation for the patient is to purchase at least 3 pairs of socks….one to be wearing…..one to be washing….and the third pair that always gets lost.
