The concept behind PelliTec was first developed because the inventors could not find an effective blister treatment amongst those available in High Street Chemists. They wanted a product that would reduce friction and eliminate the risk of blisters forming. This led them to develop the first prototype 'sandwich' which included layers that slide over each other thus reducing the friction which causes blisters. Over a number of years this prototype has been developed with Podiatrist input, to include state of the art materials forming the PelliTec product now available.
