The insole features a grid of individual pegs that you can manually remove. By pulling out the pegs directly beneath a wound or pressure point, you create a void that completely offloads pressure from that specific area, allowing the tissue to heal while you walk.

No, this insole is specifically engineered for use with square-toe post-operative footwear, such as the Darco MedSurg shoe. It is not designed to fit into standard sneakers or dress shoes and will likely be too bulky and wide.

Yes, the insole is built with a multi-layer design that includes a soft Poron top layer for cushioning and supportive foam underneath. While it is designed primarily for medical offloading, the materials are chosen to provide necessary comfort during the recovery period.

The PTQ PegAssist is sold as a single insole. Since it is typically used to treat a specific injury or wound on one foot, most patients only require one unit.

When used correctly with the pegs removed in the targeted area, the system is designed to reduce plantar pressure by up to 60%. This significant reduction is what allows patients to remain ambulatory while protecting sensitive areas of the foot.
