1. Visually small breaks in the skin commonly referred to as Heel Cracks or the clinical term Heel Fissures occur widely in the population, affecting open footwear users especially females and also people with medical conditions such as obesity and diabetes.
2. Treatment of this painful, unsightly and often chronic condition has proved to be challenging for health professionals such as; GPs, chiropodists, podiatrists and pharmacists.
3. A recent case series produced by four private podiatry practices, under the auspices of the University of Southampton, evaluated the clinical use of medical grade tissue adhesive (Liquiheel™) for the treatment and management of dry heel fissures. It concluded that Liquiheel™ offered “instant and lasting pain relief following application…and functioned as an occlusive dressing with a reported microbial barrier, and were aesthetically pleasing to patients”.
4. This unique product is new on the market and the treatment can now be obtained through your local chiropodist or podiatrist. The product provides instant pain relief, is durable and waterproof. It provides a microbial barrier and no secondary dressing is needed.
