Merkur A

Partial Foot Decompression Shoe (Post-Surgical Shoe) with cube cushion sole

Mode of Action

  • main feature of the the Post-Surgical Shoe is a rigid, slightly ascending outsole towards the front (negative heel)
  • pressure relief and pressure distribution during the walking cycle
  • benefits the healing process of wounds in the forefoot area
  • the Post-Surgical Shoe encompasses the entire foot and ankle area with a softly padded upper
  • Hook- and loop fasteners at the wide flap prevent slipping within the shoe
  • Cube cushion sole for selective pressure relief
  • the flap can be opened widely and together with the individually adjustable hook- and loop fasteners, it provides sufficient space for bandaged feet
  • improved slip protection by integrated anti-slip nubs
  • 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.
