Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in using the Toad Anti-Gravity Brace (TAG Brace) in diabetic foot ulcer healing.
It is a brace that suspends the foot about an inch of the ground with support around the ankle.
It seems like an ideal solution for offlading while maintaining mobility and hence assisting w continued blood supply.
however i was concerned if the pt is high risk w PVD could such a large amount of pressure on the ankle cause ulceration to occur in the site that the brace attaches?

Any experience with the brace would be great to here about.

Thanks

Jaimee
