Darco Peg-Assist Insoles for Offloading Wounds

When a diabetic ulcer, surgical site, or pressure wound needs to heal, the goal is simple: take the load off the affected spot without immobilizing the whole foot. That's exactly what the Darco Peg-Assist insole is built to do. Each insole is made of removable, interlocking hexagonal pegs seated over a firm base — pull out the pegs directly beneath a wound and you create a relief cavity that redistributes pressure away from the site while the surrounding foot keeps bearing weight normally.

The tri-layer construction — Plastazote over Poron over an EVA base — combines a soft, moldable top layer with cushioning and a supportive foundation. Podiatrists and wound-care clinicians commonly use these inside a post-op or square-toe healing shoe as part of an offloading protocol. Because you customize the peg pattern to each patient, one product adapts to plantar ulcers, metatarsal wounds, and localized pressure points.
