The LifeSock was created specifically for the medical market and developed in consultation with expert clinical advisors.
Produced with advanced, cutting-edge technology, and incorporating a unique combination of natural fibres.
LifeSocks are designed to:
• Reduce friction, shear and pressure.
• Provide effective temperature & moisture management.
• Offer resistance against compression.
• Assist in providing a bacteriostatic environment.
• Adapt to the individual shape of the foot.
• Offer safe, warm, non-constrictive hosiery.
• Provide an important protective interface between the skin and the shoe.
Anti-FrictionThe material components of the sock provide impact protection, injury avoidance, anti-frictional and anti-static properties, anti-bacterial and anti-mycotic properties. Resistance is provided against compressive and shearing forces to the heel, ankle, metatarsal regions and dorsal toe regions. The lateral and medial aspects of the foot are also protected from compression and frictional forces.
Seamless ConstructionThis sock is seamless, avoiding pressure from harsh ridging, skin irritation and abrasion, particularly over vulnerable pressure regions such as the top and tips of the toes. A red target symbol identifies the superficial positioning of the dorsalis pedis artery.
Arch SupportIncreased elasticity contoured into the plantar metatarsal arch region provides additional stretch capabilities in the arch.
Metatarsal CushioningThe plantar metatarsal region has loop-pile cushioning anatomically designed to accommodate the metatarso-phalageal joints, during the propulsive phase of gait.
In-shoe temperature ControlLoop-pile cushioning provides foot protection and comfort as well as leaving mesh spaces to reduce bulk inside footwear, enhancing air circulation and temperature regulation.
Made from: 60% Merino Wool, 29% Nylon, 9% Elastic, 4% SeaCell Active, 3% Lycra.
