LUKAS, an innovative international manufacturer, uses advanced thermal-effect technology in its abrasive caps. A patented colour change immediately signals a potential overheating hazard, supporting high-quality treatment of foot conditions for practitioner and patient.

Colour-change technology creates a two-stage procedure that provides timely warning of potential overheating. The practitioner can respond immediately by reducing pressure, moving to another area of skin or temporarily stopping the procedure.

Patients with diabetes may benefit from this technological development in medical podology, as they often experience neuropathy that reduces temperature and pain perception. In the worst case, neither the practitioner nor the patient may adequately detect the heat generated by abrasion during treatment, creating a risk of injury.

In addition, wounds frequently heal in patients with diabetes. Conventional tools such as rotary bits, diamond instruments or scalpels can cause burns or injuries with serious consequences for people with diabetes. Using advanced THERMO abrasive caps minimizes this risk.

The sanding cap holder is not included and is purchased separately.
