peclavus PODOdiabetic: care to relieve sensitive feet
Feet affected by various presentations are significantly more sensitive to external stimuli and inadequate care. The RUCK product range from the PODOdiabetic product line of our own brand peclavus is specifically designed for those suffering from diabetes, neurodermatitis, psoriasis and other skin conditions.
This is why podiatry is of particular importance for people with diabetes
People with diabetes must be more vigilant about pressure points, calluses and other foot problems, as a diabetic foot is exposed to a slightly higher health risk than a healthy one. Even minor injuries carry a significant potential for danger. This is primarily due to the fact that wound healing is severely impaired in people with diabetes, which in turn is due to insufficient blood circulation, damaged nerves and changes in skin structure.
This makes it all the more important for people with diabetes to take especially careful attention to podiatry. Professional podiatrists and cosmetic foot care professionals will find RUCK PODOdiabetic products from the peclavus brand, which are specifically designed to address these issues.
Care products harnessing the power of nature
- a wide variety of fruit and plant extracts
- important essential oils
- antibacterial MicroSilver BG
- the body’s own active ingredients
We avoid chemically produced colourants and fragrances, as well as questionable parabens and artificial preservatives.
Foot creams with natural ingredients
PODOdiabetic foot creams often make use of the recognised benefits of the body’s own urea. It is considered an effective moisturiser and hydrating aid for dry skin. Combined with extracts from the avocado plant, the care products provide long-lasting effects. PODOdiabetic creams based on MicroSilver BG also have an antibacterial effect and make diabetic skin less susceptible to germs and other pathogens.
Carefully selected oils leave feet feeling silky and help prevent neurodermatitic irritation.
Antibacterial and foot odour-inhibiting spray
Foot spray from the PODOdiabetic range refreshes the feet and protects them from bacteria that can cause both unpleasant odours and inflammation. The products are often based on MicroSilver BG – a highly pure silver compound with antimicrobial properties. The sprays contain an effective formulation with antiseptic and moisturising ingredients such as sage oil and glycerine.
Foot baths with an anti-inflammatory effect
Similar to the PODOdiabetic sprays, the clinically tested foot baths in this range also use anti-inflammatory MicroSilver BG. It is supplemented thanks to sugar-based surfactants, which gently cleanse the skin and are so that they are especially suitable for sensitive feet. With regular use of the baths, foot odour and bacteria become a thing of the past.
Tip from RUCK: A PODOdiabetic set, including various products from the range, provides comprehensive care for sensitive feet.
Podiatry – but please make sure it’s diabetes-friendly!
Nourished feet are essential for skin or metabolic conditions such as diabetes. In the latter case, however, caution is advised, as even the smallest injuries – which can form as a result of improper beauty or medical podiatry – pose a genuine health risk to people with diabetes.
This very risk can be mitigated, on the one hand, thanks to regular visits and check-ups at a podiatry or chiropody practice. Furthermore, it is important to keep a close eye on the condition of your feet yourself and to give them the attention they need.
It is important to keep the skin on the feet silky. This is perfectly achieved with the help of regular foot baths and the use of creams, balms or sprays specially formulated for the needs of people with diabetes – such as those from peclavus PODOdiabetic. It is also essential to ensure that your feet are always well dried and protected against infections such as foot fungus and nail fungus or different conditions.
By the way: provided you have a valid prescription in place, the costs of podiatry are in most cases covered by statutory health insurance.
