Do you have a "bunion" on your Feet? Whether it causes you pain or not, don't ignore its consequences: it needs to be treated as soon as possible to limit the negative repercussions on other joints, particularly the knee. This is what the Correct hallux valgus orthosis does, by realigning the big toe! Unlike a Classic hallux valgus splint, it can be used during the day. The result: better support and relief of Pains linked to hallux valgus when it is already present. This orthosis can be used both as a treatment and as a preventative measure to limit the development of hallux valgus by correcting the axis of the big toe.

Thanks to its patented, flexible, ultra-thin design incorporating EPITHELIUM™FLEX technology, the hallux valgus orthosis fits easily in all shoes and is worn daily use throughout the day.
Unlike a rigid hallux valgus splints, it acts during walking on all the factors that aggravate deformity:

- The patented ^EPITHELIUMTM FLEX external silicone tendon helps to straighten the big toe. The level of correction can be adjusted by applying varying degrees of tension to the tendon.
- The ^EPITHELIUMTM FLEX external tendon also absorbs pressure on the exostosis ("bunion") to relieve Pains.
- The ^EpitheliumTM pad creates a comfortable counter-bearing with the shoe and helps to push back the 1st metatarsal.
- The extra-thin metatarsal support strap limits crushing and widening of the forefoot and is machine washable at 40°C in the washing net provided.

Shelf life: several months.
Sold individually. Protection is suitable for both right and left feet.

Contraindication: The hallux valgus orthosis should not be used if the big toe is no longer laterally mobile.
