FOAM CASTING MEDICARE/DIABETIC FOOT IMPRESSION INSTRUCTIONS Please follow these instructions for making proper foam foot impressions. See diagram. 1. Take off shoes and socks and sit in a chair. 2. Open one side of Foam Art Kit and lightly center one bare foot on the foam (foam remains in the box at all times). 3. Make sure knee is directly above the heel of the foot so that the lower leg and the foot make a right (90 degree) angle.
4. Gently push foot into the foam until heel and the front part of the foot are both near the bottom of the foam box. 5. Lift the foot straight out of the foam and repeat steps 1 – 5 with the other foot. 6. When casting for 3 pair Medicare diabetic inserts, be sure foot is centered and heel is punched close to the end of the box. 7.Please indicate shoe size on order form and/or...(see step 8) 8. Please include a photo copy or tracing of the shoe. Be sure to trace the full length of the insole – including the curve for the heel cup. HELP US MAKE YOUR MEDICARE INSERTS THE PERFECT SIZE ·A photo copy of the insole of the shoe to be used works best. A tracing will also work well. A simple notation of the shoe size can be misleading because of the various shapes and sizes of different brands and styles. |
