Calluses, also known as corns or hardened skin, are areas of thickened, hardened skin, often caused by repeated friction or prolonged pressure. They most commonly appear on the feet due to ill-fitting shoes or poor posture.

The main categories are:

• a hard, dry, and compact callus located on the sole or sides of the feet;
• the soft, more flexible pad located between the toes (also known as the "partridge eye").

Conventional treatments include keratolytic creams to soften the skin and pads to reduce pressure. However, these solutions only treat the symptoms.

The real cause is often biomechanical: poor weight distribution.

This is where orthotic insoles come in; they correct postural imbalances and distribute pressure evenly. This reduces the formation of calluses in areas of excessive pressure.

Vistapod Pro: Expertise at the Service of Your Feet

The Vistapod Pro system enables the creation of custom-made, insurance-covered orthotic insoles. Using a sensor-equipped platform, the patient’s foot pressure is analyzed both statically and dynamically. A precise digital scan is sent to a factory in Normandy, where the insoles are handcrafted by podiatrists.

Reserved for pharmacists who hold a university diploma in orthopedics, this system paves the way for a new approach to pharmacy-based podiatry. With 700 pharmacies already equipped, Vistapod is establishing itself as an innovative solution for providing better foot care to patients, within a framework covered by Social Security (by prescription).
