Splint, straightener, corrector, hallux valgus correction orthosis... this is the range of solutions available to correct and alleviate a painful bunion. However, there are few that can be worn on the feet during the day. The EPITHELIUMFLEX 02 hallux valgus correction orthosis is placed in sports shoes: it limits the pain and progression of the bunion at the beginning, while also improving performance. FUNCTIONALITY: The EPITACT hallux valgus orthosis acts on three complementary factors: -A CORRECTIVE ACTION: The EPITHELIUMFLEX silicone tendon, associated with the support tab, allows the big toe to be straightened, limiting pronation and, therefore, optimizing the impulse. During sports, the quality of support is essential to prevent injuries and improve performance. -A PROTECTIVE ACTION: The EPITHELIUMFLEX external tendon also allows the absorption of pressure and friction on the exostosis (“bunion”) and thus avoids the risk of heating. -A MAINTENANCE ACTION: Compression metatarsal strap helps control crushing and development of the forefoot.
Lack of mobility in the big toe. Do not use on an unprotected wound.
