A mouldable fibreglass backslab device as a novel approach to offload chronic plantar foot ulcers: A retrospective observational audit.

Our preliminary data suggests that a mouldable fibreglass BSD may be a practical offloading option in the management of DFUs, especially when conventional offloading methods are unsuccessful, unsuitable or unacceptable to patients. Higher level evidence is required to demonstrate suitability or efficacy of the BSD compared to current evidence-based recommended offloading methods.
