LIGASANO® in podiatry and diabetology
A good, regular care of the diabetic foot and education by the podiatrist, in close cooperation with the patient, the treating physician and the wound care provider, can prevent the development of wounds and amputations, both in the preventive and in the secondary preventive area.
LIGASANO® in podiatry and diabetology practice
In everyday life, LIGASANO® is preferably used in the following areas:
• pressure protection, e.g. in hallux valgus and heel spurs
• interdigital pressure protection
• friction protection

• tamponing of the nail fold, especially in Unguis incarnatus (ingrown toenail)
• subungual tamponade for dermatophyte-related nail fungus therapy
• interdigital in mycoses
• care and prevention of diabetic foot syndrome
• absorb excess sweat

Pressure protection with LIGASANO® white in heel spur
Depending on the location of heel spur, there are two forms:
- Plantar Calcaneusporn (more common form)
The lower heel spur is an ossification in the insertion area of the small foot muscles on the underside of the heel bone - Cranial Calcaneusporn (rarer form)
The upper or posterior heel spur is an ossification on the heel bone insertion of the Achilles tendon
Cave: The use of LIGASANO® white is not recommended as a long-term padding for plantar heel spur due to its rapidly falling pressure tension.
Instead of the curves and corners can be cut out.
