OrthoWedge

The DARCO OrthoWedge® is clinically proven to reduce weight bearing pressure on the forefoot which promotes faster healing after surgery, trauma or when forefoot wounds or ulcerations are present.

• 15° Wedge Sole effectively shifts body weight to the midfoot and heel. Reduces forefoot pressure by as much as 57%!
• Square Toe Design acts as a bumper to protect the toes when k-wires are present and provides better Left/Right fit.
• Ankle Strap seats foot firmly in shoe to reduce heel slippage and eliminate friction.
• Removable Forefoot Closure provides security while eliminating buckle pressure.
• Zoned Outsole has an aggressive tread under the mid-foot where traction is needed most.
• Removable Insole features twice the padding of standard insoles and can be modified as needed. Insole can be totally removed to accommodate DARCO’s innovative Peg Assist™ (PQ Series) customizable off-loading insole.
• 57% Reduction in Metatarsal Head Pressure, Peak Pressure drops from 19PSI to 8PSI
• 75% Reduction in Great Toe Pressure, Peak Pressure drops from 17PSI to 4PSI

Indications:

• Post Surgical healing
• Forefoot trauma
• Wounds or ulcerations present under metatarsal heads and toes.
• Any situation that requires a pressure off-load of the forefoot.
