With all the advancements made in medicine, it is surprising that patients’ footwear is still as backward as the 1950s. When I visited my friend at the hospital last month, I noticed with dismay that the hospital distributed to her a pair of thin cotton socks with only a couple of strips of “non-slip” on the bottom of the socks. These skimpy socks offer no warmth or protection for her feet. In environments like hospitals, clinics, and assisted living facilities, the risk of slipping and the risk of infection are very high, higher than in other environments. We believe that a more protective form of footwear can go a long way in better serving the patients.
