Bledsoe Bunion Boot
Bledsoe
No more crutches after a hallux valgus operation
- Flat form insole with visco-elastic slow foam sole provides unique pressure distribution and holds the other toes stable
- Avoid plaster: May be applied immediately after the operation
- Patients can walk without crutches
- Velcro strap to keep the big toe in position (to be splinted)
- Pneumatic forefoot pad to minimize edema
- Low profile, which prevents pain in the hip
- "Rocker bottom" design with 4 phases which equals the natural way of walking: heel strike – straight – roll-off and toe-off
- Finish with opening at the level of the heel for perfect positioning of the lower leg
- Manufactured from high-quality aluminium for ideal immobilisation
- Aerating foam around the lower leg avoids perspiration: unique to Bledsoe
- Walking sole is optimal width
- The patient can walk in a stable manner
- It is impossible for the knee to go into valgus so that there can be no pain at the condylen level
- Option: ‘air bladder’ for extra fixation of the malleoli
