OrthoWedge Post-Op Medical Surgical Shoe 929 (S)

Description

The key element that sets this bunion surgery shoe apart from other post-surgery boots or shoes is its 15° dorsi-angle bottom. This makes users shift their weight to the mid- and heel area of the foot. The lack of pressure on the front of the foot and toes reduces pain and gives the injured area a chance to heal correctly. This lightweight and low-profile post surgery boot can help with a number of conditions, including: Ulcers Bunions or after a bunionectomy (surgery to repair a bunion) Infection Broken toes or forefoot fractures (including Lisfranc fractures) Ball of foot pain from trauma or metatarsalgia The other components of this toe fracture shoe are also designed with healing and user comfort in mind. For one, the toe fracture sandal has a square toe design that is roomy and acts as a protective bumper against further damage. The bunionectomy shoe as a whole allows space for bandaging and swelling and the Velcro top closures of the medical shoe are adjustable so that one can cinch the shoe for toe fractures tighter once the swelling has subsided and/or the bandaging has been removed. This boot is made by Darco for Corflex. See more orthotics for treating bunions.The EVA medical shoe insoles of the support provide durable and comfortable support to the mid-foot. EVA, or ethlylene vinyl acetate, is a foam material that consists of thousands of foam bubbles filled with gas that make the material lightweight and flexible. The tricot lining of the foam is comfortable against the skin as well as durable. There are a number of conditions for which treatment requires limited or no weight bearing on the front of the foot.
