Short Description
Darco Orthowedge Shoe reduces weight bearing pressure on the forefoot to promote faster healing after surgery and trauma. Fits left or right foot. Shifts weight from the forefoot to the midfoot and heel.
The Darco OrthoWedge Shoe is clinically proven to effectively reduce weight bearing pressure from the forefoot to promote proper healing. The square toe design in front acts as a bumper to provide additional protection when K-wires are present and provides a better left/right fit. It promotes healing by reducing weight from the forefoot and may be used for any condition from the metatarsal heads distally in which it is desirable to reduce body weight such as ulcers, infections, trauma and surgery. The ankle strap eliminates heel slippage and removable forefoot closure eliminates buckle pressure.
