Komet

partial foot decompression shoe in outdoor design and cube cushion sole

Intended use

Pressure redistribution and relief in the forefoot area through a rigid (= stiff) roll-off sole
benefits the healing process of wounds in the forefoot area
Cube cushion sole for selective pressure relief
reinforced heel area and straps in the forefoot area give the foot support
adjustable hook- and loop fasteners on the flaps accommodate large-volume bandages
wide angular sole shape in the forefoot area when using surgical techniques with Kirschner wire
high slip resistance due to profiled outsole
Inner lining fabric of the shoe as well as cover fabric of the padded insole are anti-bacterially equipped based on ammonium-silane-compound; this limits colonisation of the material with certain bacterial strains (e.g. Staphylokokkus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae)

Indication

Wounds in the forefoot area caused by diabetes mellitus
peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD)
other indication independent wound formation in the foot and ankle area
post-surgical for corrections and forefoot injuries

Contraindication

Do not use for the above indications if sufficient pressure relief cannot be achieved through the application.
do not wear directly on injured, irritated or damaged skin (Protective bandage, sock)
do not use for unstable or fracture prone diabetic neuro-osteoarthropathic foot syndromes, DNOAP (e.g. florid Charcot foot).
use only with walking supports

Special feature

In connection with wounds in the foot¸ and ankle area, pressure complaints or other disorders can often be noticed too late or not at all. We therefore recommend that you check your feet, their bandages and orthopaedic aids daily. In case of occurring disorders, specific questions, delays in wound healing or unauthorised discontinuation of therapy ("incompliance"), please consult your attending physician or your medical supply store.
