Intended use

• a padded midfoot roll and a shortened sole construction towards the heel area 
• pressure relief and pressure distribution during the walking cycle 
• benefits the healing process of wounds in the heel area
• the heel relief shoe encompasses the ankle and tarsus with a softly padded socket
• Hook- and loop fasteners hold the foot in a predefined position and thus prevent slipping in the shoe
• the removable padded insole prevents pressure peaks in the forefoot area
• 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)

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.
