Defender is building the first patient platform to address DFU disease lifecycle management. The Defender DFU Patient Platform provides better outcomes by managing the disease state for the patient. Defender treats the DFU as a chronic condition, managing it for the lifetime of the patient. The platform provides continuous follow up, device replacement, additional product sales, and management of the entire lifecycle of the disease state

Defender’s Smart Boot is the best of biomechanical engineering, modern footwear design, and patented manufacturing techniques. Using state of the art textiles, advanced engineering, and proprietary materials for force reduction and impact attenuation, Foot Defender provides an enhanced protective environment for foot wounds that is effective,  stylish, and easy to use.

Scope of the human problem - 10% of the US population has diabetes, more than 3.5 million wounds and 1.6 million diabetic foot ulcers every year. 40% of patients experience recurrence within a year of healing the initial wound and 85% experience recurrence within 5 years. 85% of all non-traumatic leg amputations can be correlated directly back to a DFU
