Always one step ahead with the original. For 35 years DARCO has
                        been providing quality orthopaedic devices for the foot and ankle.
                        Dr. H. Darrel Darby developed the first postoperative shoe in Hunting-
                        ton, WV in 1985. The starting point for what is now an international
                        group of companies. The DARCO products can be found world-wide
                        with operations in the US, Europe, India, and China. The list of sites
                        was extended recently to include Great Britain.

                        With years of expertise, DARCO has earned the respect and loyalty
                        of foot surgeons and orthopaedic specialists. Today, tried and tested,
                        DARCO is one of the world’s leading suppliers of orthopaedic devices
                        for postoperative foot care. Our innovations have led us into broader
                        segments such as sports medicine, physiotherapy and trauma.
                        The interest in our elastic tapes used in kinesiology has continued
                        to grow and now we’ve expanded our range to include MECRON by
                        DARCO knee and other braces.

China                   Our R&D team collaborates with leading medical specialists, physio-
DARCO International     therapists, orthopaedic technicians and product designers to develop
Trading Shanghai Ltd.
Shanghai                products representing state-of-the-art technology. We integrate the
China
                        latest technology and advancements into our products to continually
                        improve the effectiveness of our devices. The cooperation with inter-
                        national foot surgeons, medical associations and biomechanical ins-
                        titutions form the foundation for our industry-defining innovations.
                        The teamwork influences the high quality standards for our products.
                        This is our commitment to ensure that professional users are always
                        one step ahead.

          Therapeutic Shoes
Healing shoes are indispensable in fortifying positive surgical
results and in wound care applications. Features such as the square
toe design, low profile height, wide entry and distal Meta-Shank,
make the DARCO healing shoes extremely versatile. The shoes can
be used for a wide range of applications from postoperative care
to diabetic foot care. Our broad product range ensures that DARCO
can provide the optimum support for the needed therapy.

Interchangeable Insoles Available
Most of our healing shoes can be fitted with a modular DARCO
insole. Whether it’s a classic healing shoe, or off-loading shoe desig-
ned for short or long-term therapies, the interchangeable insoles
offer a clear advantage. Coupled with a proper fit, these features
ensures optimal pressure relief and supports the patient’s mobility
in everyday life.

Orthoses, Walkers & Bandages
        Motion is Life – Devices and bandages from DARCO contribute to
        restoring and ensuring individual mobility after injury, surgery
        or as the result of disease. DARCO has a wide range of solutions in
        its portfolio for shoulder, elbow, hand devices as well as products
        designed for the torso, knee, lower leg, foot and ankle joint.

        Two in One – the Relief Insert® Walker
        The modular walker from DARCO successfully immobilises
        the foot with simultaneous mobilisation for the patient. Three
        components – splint, insole and shoe – make this a versatile solution.
        It’s used for postoperative fixation as a backing splint with
        a supportive insole, thus ensuring the proper treatment for talipes
        equinus and injury prophylaxis and results in improved swelling
        reduction. Used as a lower leg orthosis, it is a modular alternative
        to a walker and provides pressure relief in the forefoot and mid-
        foot while promoting a more secure gait.

       Positioning Devices
There is strength in tranquillity: In some cases, only the immobiliza-
tion of an injured area will provide sustainable therapeutic healing.
DARCO has developed a wide range of medical devices that can
be used to securely position and fixate most parts of the body to
promote healing.

Perfect, Individual Fit
Positioning devices created by DARCO are well known for individu-
alizing a proper fit. The dorsal Body Armor® Night Splint fixates the
foot at an angle of 90° while at the same time, offers a high level
of comfort. The principle is simple: to prevent equines deformities
and the shortening of the Achilles tendon while in a resting state
or during convalescence. For precise positioning and off-loading we
have the Body Armor® Heel Reliever. The Heel Protector redistributes
heel pressure to the heel cord and gastrosoleus complex in the calf.

       Acute injuries of the foot require immediate treatment to facilitate
       the best outcomes. This is exactly why temporary orthopedically
       correct solutions for urgent care remain so important. In the case of
       custom diabetic-adapted shoes, the best long-term solutions require
       time and professional expertise. DARCO’s time tested proficiency has
       allowed us to integrate the latest advancements and technologies
       into our products to continually improve the effectiveness of long
       term solutions but even more importantly, to elevate the quality of
       interim solutions. By combining therapeutic shoes with a large se-
       lection of specialty insoles, DARCO has created a modular system the
       can meet the needs of a broad range of patients.

       Especially, Plantar Pressure Relief
       The DARCO insole systems provide dependable off-loading solutions
       for acute care and beyond. Our modular insole strategy allows for
       selective plantar pressure relief. This is especially important after
       forefoot and midfoot surgical procedures and as well as addressing
       the unique dynamics of the diabetic foot. We have developed an in-
       sole system specifically for the diabetic foot. The diabetic patient is
       distinctively more sensitive to plantar pressure and requires a system
       that can be altered easily. We are continually seeking the most pro-
       gressive solutions for foot care and over-all wellbeing.

Tapes, Bandaging Material
         and Consumables
    Today’s injuries sustained during sports on the field are often treated
    immediately on the side-lines. Effective treatment and prevention is
    becoming increasingly more important for the professional athlete
    as well as for the amateur or weekend warrior sports enthusiast.
    DARCO’s acquired knowledge and experience over the years has lead
    us directly to the needs of active life styles found among the many
    today. We’ve developed an extensive portfolio of tapes and com-
    plementing accessories. Now after 30 years, DARCO has the right
    solutions not only for effective medical care but also addressing the
    distinctively more demanding needs for physiotherapy and injury
    prevention.

    Know-how for Applied Kinesiology
    The MECRON Elastic Tape is a therapeutic tape used in applied kine-
    siology. The “Elastic Taping” technique is used in sports and physio­
    therapeutic treatments throughout the world. DARCO strives to
    incorporate the most progressive technological advancements in our
    MECRON tapes to meet the growing demand. Our latest advance-
    ments include additional groves in the wave pattern of the adhesive
    layer to improve the evaporation of moisture and sweat. The new
    technology ensures optimised microcirculation when applied correctly.
