Great to see Leon back home and doing well.

Chris recently worked with Leon to modify this protective helmet, ensuring it was tailored to his specific requirements. Achieving the right fit, function and comfort is an important part of any orthosis, and we're pleased to see Leon back home and enjoying being out in the community.

LEON IS OUT OF HOSPITAL AND BACK HOME
Great news that Leon is back and looking good. This is his new custom made helmet which he must use when he’s up and about. He decided not to go with the Viking Helmet, it was too heavy. This one is as light as a feather.

We asked Penny, one of our orthotists with extensive experience in diabetic wound management, what she considers when supporting wound healing.
Her perspective reinforces that effective diabetic foot care is never one‑dimensional. Healing depends on a coordinated team addressing circulation, infection control, pressure offloading, and the everyday choices that influence how the foot functions and heals.
