The Darco® OrthoWedge™ Post-Op Shoe is designed to provide superior protection and support during recovery from forefoot surgeries or conditions requiring off-loading. Its unique wedge sole effectively shifts body weight to the midfoot and heel, reducing pressure on the forefoot and promoting faster healing. With additional features like a square toe design, an ankle strap for a secure fit, and a removable insole for customization, this post-op shoe delivers both comfort and functionality.
Key Features:
-
Wedge Sole for Pressure Off-Loading: The wedge sole design helps shift body weight away from the forefoot, promoting better healing after surgery, injury, or foot ulcers.
-
Square Toe Design: Protects the toes, especially when K-wires are present, and provides a better fit for both the left and right foot.
-
Ankle Strap for Stability: Secures the foot firmly in place, reducing heel slippage and eliminating friction, ensuring maximum comfort and stability during wear.
-
Removable Forefoot Closure: Offers added security and protection without the discomfort of buckle pressure.
-
Enhanced Insole Comfort: The insole features twice the padding of standard insoles, offering extra cushioning. It can also be removed to accommodate the Darco® PegAssist™ off-loading insole for even more customization and comfort.
