Bunion splint AM-OP-03

Bunion (hallux valgus)

Hallux valgus is a deformity at the base of the big toe, or metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, in which the great toe, or hallux, is deviated or points toward the lesser toes. First metacarpal bone is in varsus position and the hallux is in valgus position. The main reason of this condition is high-arched feet (pes cavus), where the bottom of the foot is overly-arched and hollowed, even when bearing weight. It’s mainly inherited and observed in women.

To prevent the deformation, the prevention is the most important thing. Try to avoid the long standing and high heels. Also, you should use our bunion splint AM-OP-03.

MATERIALS

UniPren™

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.
