SIZE
DESCRIPTION
Counteracts big toe misalignment by constantly stretching the soft tissues and joint capsule of the foot. The big toe is gradually brought into correct alignment through the application of gentle forces and the Velcro fasteners allow for variable adjustment of the correction pressure. The thin, lightweight design ensures maximum comfort.
The ValguLoc is used for:
The big toe is brought into correct axial alignment. Corrects hallux valgus according to the 3-point principle and stretches shortened parts of the capsule and soft tissues
Postoperative loss of correction (e.g. due to scar formation), can be avoided, and the splinting helps protect the big toe from mechanical forces.
Postural splint for the correction of hallux valgus (bunions).
Velcro fastening allows infinitely variable adjustment of the correction pressure.
Must be worn without shoes and is not suitable for walking.
Also available: The ValguLoc II offers a multi-dimensional hinge that allows flexion and extension to be gradually restricted and for the valgus angle to be adjusted to match the post-op position and adapted to the individual shape of the foot.
