Peg Assist System X-Large Insole M 12.5-14

The DARCO Peg Assist System X-Large Insole (Men’s 12.5–14) is a clinically proven offloading insole system designed to reduce pressure on specific areas of the foot, making it ideal for diabetic foot ulcers, post-operative care, and wound management.

This advanced insole features a removable peg design, allowing healthcare providers or users to selectively remove individual foam plugs beneath pressure points—effectively redistributing weight away from sensitive or injured areas. The system is constructed using a multi-density combination of Plastazote®, Poron®, and EVA materials, providing both cushioning and structural support for improved healing conditions.

Designed to fit seamlessly inside post-op shoes and walker boots, the Peg Assist system helps patients remain mobile while significantly reducing plantar pressure—supporting recovery without sacrificing stability or comfort. Some configurations report pressure reduction of up to ~60%, making it a trusted solution in wound care settings.
