Pediplast

[Creflo]

I've never used this product but will be seeing a patient with a corn on the side of a lesser toe, and was thinking about using this product. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I have some at the office but I've only used it to play around making toe separators for myself, never for any patients. Typically I dispense a Silipos toe sleeve instead, in the interest of time management. Do you know how to prepare the pediplast?

saw a youtube video, seems simple but the amount of hardener to use may take some practice. also, for interdigital corn, maybe I should separate the toes a little bit while its being applied to allow it to separate the toes enough?

Roll out a ball of the pink material first and squish it between the toes so you know you have about the right amount. Add the red hardener to the pink ball. The more hardener you use, the firmer the material becomes (a little goes a long way). I wouldn't spread the patient's toes out any extra; just having a little pediplast in between should be enough to pad a heloma molle.

I don't even know what our office charges for it. I kind of recall my Partner saying he charges something around $8 for it but I think my time is worth more than that. I suppose one could have an assistant do it. Frankly I'd rather fix it surgically if the patient is a candidate.
