حزام للقدم الروحاء نهاري | Hallux Valgus Splint

The Hallux Valgus Splint for daytime use is a specialized orthosis designed to provide corrective alignment for a mobile hallux valgus (bunion) deformity. Its ultra-thin, flexible design allows it to be worn comfortably within footwear, applying a gentle, consistent corrective force to the great toe during daily activities. It is indicated for the conservative management of hallux valgus and for post-operative care to maintain surgical correction.

Why to Use: This orthosis provides dynamic, corrective support that is essential for the management of a developing bunion deformity:

• Active Toe Realignment: The dynamic tensioning system applies a gentle, lateral force to the great toe, actively drawing it back towards its correct anatomical position. This helps to counteract the medial deviation characteristic of a hallux valgus deformity.
• Slows Deformity Progression: By providing continuous corrective alignment and supporting the metatarsal arch, the splint helps to mitigate the biomechanical factors that contribute to the worsening of the bunion over time.
• Significant Pain and Pressure Relief: By realigning the toe, the splint reduces pressure on the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, alleviating the pain, inflammation, and friction commonly associated with bunions, especially when wearing shoes.
• Functional and Discreet for Daily Use: The low-profile, flexible design is specifically engineered to be worn comfortably and discreetly inside most standard footwear, allowing for therapeutic correction to occur throughout the day without limiting activity.
• Post-Operative Stabilization: Serves as an effective tool following hallux valgus surgery to maintain the corrected alignment of the toe during the healing and rehabilitation phase, helping to protect the surgical outcome.

Indications for Use:

• Mild to moderate, flexible hallux valgus (bunion) deformities.
• Pain and inflammation of the first MTP joint associated with a bunion.
• Prevention of the progression of a hallux valgus deformity.
• Post-operative management to maintain surgical correction.

How to Use:

1. Place the main sleeve over your forefoot, positioning it just behind the ball of the foot.
2. Fit the smaller cap over your great toe.
3. Secure the adjustable straps to achieve a snug fit around the midfoot.
4. Adjust the corrective tension strap, which typically wraps around the heel, to gently pull the great toe into a straighter alignment. The tension should be noticeable but not painful.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Corrective Tension: Utilizes an elasticated strapping system to apply a consistent, adjustable corrective force to the great toe.
• Ultra-Thin, Low-Profile Design: Specifically designed to be worn comfortably and discreetly inside most types of shoes.
• Flexible and Breathable Materials: Constructed from soft, skin-friendly fabrics that allow for flexibility during walking and prevent excessive heat or moisture buildup.
• Anatomical Fit: Contours to the shape of the foot for a secure and effective application.
• Ambidextrous Design: Can typically be worn on either the left or right foot.

How to Care:

1. Hand wash the splint in cool water using a mild soap.
2. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
3. Allow the splint to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
4. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, or iron.

Material Composition:

• Body: A blend of durable and elastic materials neoprene, nylon, and elastane.
• Strapping System: Medical-grade elastic and hook-and-loop (Velcro) fasteners.
• Tendon/Insert: Includes a soft silicone gel pad for comfort and protection over the MTP joint.
