The VACOcast Diabetic Fracture Orthosis Walking Boot is an advanced therapeutic device designed specifically for the management and rehabilitation of diabetic foot fractures and ulcers. Combining state-of-the-art technology with unparalleled comfort, this walking boot offers a comprehensive solution for patients requiring offloading and stabilization during the healing process.
Key Features of the OPED VACOCast Diabetic Walking Boot
- Customizable Fit: The VACOcast features an adjustable vacuum cushion that conforms perfectly to the contours of the foot and lower leg, providing a tailored fit that enhances both comfort and therapeutic effectiveness.
- Optimal Pressure Relief: Engineered with a unique VACO12 vacuum technology insert, this boot ensures even distribution of pressure, significantly reducing the risk of further complications such as pressure ulcers. The offloading design protects vulnerable areas of the foot, promoting faster and safer healing.
- Enhanced Stability and Support: The rigid frame of the VACOcast offers robust support to the foot and ankle, minimizing movement to aid in the healing of fractures and ulcers. The boot’s rocker sole promotes a natural walking gait, reducing strain on the affected area.
- Breathable and Hygienic: Constructed with breathable materials, the VACOcast Diabetic Fracture Orthosis Walking Boot keeps the foot cool and dry, reducing moisture buildup that can lead to infection. The boot’s liner is also removable and washable, ensuring easy maintenance and hygiene.
- Lightweight Design: Despite its strong support features, the VACOcast is lightweight and easy to wear, allowing for greater mobility and comfort during use.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for a range of diabetic foot conditions, including Charcot foot, plantar ulcers, and post-operative care, the VACOcast can be used both as a preventive measure and a therapeutic tool.
