Intended use

• the main feature of the Forefoot Relief Shoe is a forward rising and shortened outsole (negative heel).
• pressure relief and pressure distribution during the walking cycle
• benefits the healing process of wounds in the forefoot area
• the forefoot relief shoe encompasses the heel and tarsus with a softly padded socket
• Heel cap, hook- and loop straps and fasteners prevent slipping in the shoe
• 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

• 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
• weight limit: 120 kg

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.
