Information:

The Hallux Valgus (bunion) is characterized by the deviation of the big toe towards the second toe. The first metatarsal head becomes quite pronounced and is then called a "bunion". This deformation affects about 5 to 10% of the population and can be very disabling. Bunions are usually caused by a combination of the way we walk, the foot we inherit and the use of inappropriate shoes.

Whether it causes pain or not, do not neglect the consequences: it is necessary to treat it as soon as possible to limit the negative repercussions on other joints and, above all, on the knee. This is what the hallux valgus correction orthosis does when relaxing the big toe! Contrary to what happens with the classic hallux valgus orthoses, this orthosis is used during the day. Result: better support and pain relief related to hallux valgus when they are already present.

Corrective orthosis adapted to all types of shoes, thanks to its patented, ultra thin and flexible design. Its ergonomics with EPITHELIUM ™ FLEX technology, acts during walking on all factors that aggravate deformation. It allows to smooth the big toe and also to reduce pressure on the bunion, relieving joint pain and limiting its evolution. It also allows the first metatarsal to be pushed, inhibiting the crushing and widening of the forefoot and correcting the "hallux valgus" (bunion). This orthosis can be used as a treatment but also as a prevention to limit the evolution of hallux valgus thanks to the correction of the axis of the big toe.
