Intended use

• the surgical shoe should accommodate existing, large-volume dressings and bandages and protect them from slipping and, in particular, protect the foot from cold and wetness (splash water).
• the post-surgical shoe encompasses the entire foot and ankle area with a softly padded socket
• Hook- and loop fasteners at the wide flap prevent slipping within the shoe
• the removable padded insole prevents pressure peaks in the foot sole area
• the flap can be opened widely and together with the individually adjustable hook- and loop fasteners, it provides sufficient space for bandaged feet
• the stiffened outsole additionally relieves the injured foot
• 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 foot- and ankle area caused by diabetes mellitus
• peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD)
• other indication independent wound formation in the foot and ankle area
• postoperative and trauma

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)

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.
