Orthosis in rigid hypoallergenic plastic with soft faux-leather inserts and Velcro straps. It keeps the big toe aligned, relieves pain and supports night-time rest. Class I medical device. Indicated as a support in the preventive or conservative treatment, or post-operative rehabilitation, of hallux valgus.
DESCRIPTION
The orthosis was designed for the preventive or conservative treatment, or post-operative rehabilitation, of hallux valgus, to be used when the foot is at rest, especially at night. Useful at any age, when the symptoms of hallux valgus appear. The medical device consists of rigid plastic anatomically shaped in a U, with soft hypoallergenic faux-leather inserts and Velcro straps to keep it in the correct position. It keeps the big toe aligned and spaced from the second toe, applying light pressure at several points, and stretches the joint capsule or shortened soft tissues. It reduces joint pain and limits the progression of hallux valgus. It prevents calluses and swelling between the toes and at the base of the big toe. It avoids negative effects on other joints, especially the knees.
