Pressure protection with LIGASANO® white in heel spur

Depending on the location of heel spur, there are two forms:

  • Plantar Calcaneusporn (more common form)
    The lower heel spur is an ossification in the insertion area of ​​the small foot muscles on the underside of the heel bone
  • Cranial Calcaneusporn (rarer form)
    The upper or posterior heel spur is an ossification on the heel bone insertion of the Achilles tendon

Cave: The use of LIGASANO® white is not recommended as a long-term padding for plantar heel spur due to its rapidly falling pressure tension.

Instead of the curves and corners can be cut out.
