Custom footbed devices, methods of constructing the devices and kits for
constructing custom footbeds are disclosed that may be particularly
advantageous in the treatment of plantar ulcers. The devices offer the
advantage of off-loading pressure from the plantar ulcers in a device
that is easy to construct, reusable, lightweight, and custom-made to
improve patient comfort. The footbeds are constructed using a curable
substrate that is formed to the plantar surface of the foot except in the
areas occupied by spacers designed to off-load wounds on the bottom of
the foot.
