Gel And Silicone Products

This family of gel and silicone products constitutes one of the basic pillars of podiatry, as there are many pathologies to be treated or palliated with orthoses, corrective or palliative elements made with Silicone or Gel.

These elements can be separators, bunion protectors, heel cups, insoles and many others.

These materials have excellent properties. It is an inert product that generates few reactions, shock-absorbing and very helpful in reducing pressure in the area, very easy to wash, has no bacterial growth, can take many forms and complex, durable and so on.

These brands are: HERBI FEET - SKIN GEL – SILONITE – COMODIGEL – COMODIHALLUX - LADY FEET - MINI PLANGELITAS AND PLANGELITAS -HERBI PLAST. All of them registered.

TYPES OF GEL AND SILICONE PRODUCTS 

METATARSAL PADS 

They are of the most used elements since the great majority of annoyances and pains are suffered in the front part of the foot in the metatarsal support. Especially with high heels.

These pads or mini insoles can take various forms: very flat and transparent such as the LADY FEET, which are suitable for open shoes and have to go unnoticed. Fabric-lined shoes are also available.

ELASTIC SUPPORTS

This subfamily includes a series of elastic bands for different pathologies: open foot with and without metatarsal almond.

Another new product is the Plantar Fasciitis Support. It is a band of soft elastic fabric, which includes inside an insertion of a specific gel, relieves pressure in the medial area of the foot and reduces tension in the plantar fascia, thus achieving a reduction in pain.

This subfamily also includes other elastic supports for open feet, some of them with metatarsal elevation. This metatarsal elevation can be located towards the outside of the support or also included in the inside of it. 

AMERICAN HAMMER TOE CREST

A small, kidney-shaped splint with a fixation ring or rubber, designed to withstand the support or pressure of the claw or hammer toes.

These splints can be made of traditional materials such as foam, skin and more recently we have them in silicone or gel.

The Hammer Toe Crest is very useful, which consists of a pressure-reducing pad and an adjustable rubber that "forces" curved, claw toes to extend.

TOES SEPARATORS

Toe separators have been used for a long time, mainly with two objectives:

  - On the one hand, for friction and interdigital pressures, being in this case thinner and usually crescent shaped.

   - On the other hand, to help in the alignment of toes when these are displaced towards a side because of the effect of having Bunions. In this case, they are usually thicker and in the shape of a spool. 

We have all of them and also a model that presents a better support and stability: Flat Spreader. It has fins on the upper and lower part that guarantee its best support. 

Dupligel and 5th toe Dupligel: this device combines a reel separator with a protector of the Bunion.

The Separa-tex is a device similar to this previous one but in this case the ring is made of soft elastic fabric. High efficiency and durability.

Laboratorios Herbitas presents the Fix Toe as a novelty. This Fix Toe is the result of the development of podiatric teachers, the daily work and experience in their clinic. This patented device provides stability in the deformation of the toes, especially in claw toes, raised toes or predislocation syndrome. This device arose to replace, in the professional's office, the traditional tie bandage that is usually performed in these cases.

BUNIONS PROTECTORS

We can mention as more specific: Elastic Bunion Protector with Gel, which has a soft band of elastic fabric that includes inside a gel pad to off-load the most prominent part of the bunion.

Full Gel Bunion Protector. Slimmer and more disguised than the previous one. Made entirely of extra soft gel.

TUBES AND RINGS

The elastic tubes cut out with gel have an enormous effectiveness when it comes to solving the problem of friction, interdigital pressures, claw or hammer toes and their enormous versatility when cut out and being able to form rings of different sizes.

The rings are already cut and ready to use and are also available in fabric with gel inside or all elastic gel. Moreover, they are available in various sizes.

The Separa-2 is a product that we can emphasize. In products that combine two rings joined by a separator which achieves better adaptation, efficiency and stability.

There are other types of tubes used since older and are made of foam. These tubes do not include gel or silicone. It is a cotton elastic band inside and covered with a very open foam. They are less effective than gel. Available in various diameters.

DRESSINGS, PATCHES AND HEELS PROTECTORS

Dressings and patches are very varied and widely used in all types of foot protections. We can highlight some of the most interesting of the catalogue:

    - Heel protectors. Designed to protect the back of the heel and Achilles tendon. Also, to compensate for the difference between the shoe and the back of the heel when one foot is longer than the other. 

    - We can also mention the gel patches for calluses. We manufacture them in different sizes and shapes. All of them are made of soft gel and adhesives. 

GEL AND SILICONE SHEETS

We manufacture gel and silicone sheets as well as a shock-absorbing and pressure-reducing element. 

The Sorbelastic is a type of silicone sheet very soft and squishy, which make them suitable for off-loading all kinds of pressures on the sole of the foot in IPK'S, warts therapy to alleviate pain after treatments with acids and so on.

We can highlight the Verrusheet, which is very elastic and soft for the off-loading of plantar pressures, IPK'S and adjuvant in the treatment of plantar warts.

FELT SHEET

The felt sheet is very soft and it has a raised fleecy surface. It is used in podiatry after chiropodies and allows to make pressure relief padding in the plantar area and be used as a soft dressing in rubbing.

Now we also present it die-cut with a kidney shape, easier to apply and use.

HYDROCOLLOIDS DRESSINGS

Hydrocolloid dressings and patches are composed of mixtures of Carboxyl Methylcellulose, algae and other compounds. They are usually coated with a polyurethane film and with an adhesive support. Finally, they can be semi occlusive or permeable.

These dressings exert an absorption and retention of exudate which creates a kind of gel that keeps the area moist, promotes healing of small wounds and protects it from infection.
