The OPED VACOped Diabetic Achilles Boot is an advanced solution specifically designed for effective offloading of heel ulcers, making it an ideal choice for managing Diabetic Foot Syndrome.
This boot can be adjusted to 10 degrees dorsal flexion, effectively shifting weight forward to relieve pressure on the heel.
What sets the VACOped Diabetic Achilles Boot apart are its unique features tailored for diabetic care: additional beads for comprehensive offloading, a low-friction wicking synthetic velour liner for gentle comfort, a toe cover to keep debris out, and a foam footbed layer that enhances shock absorption.
The innovative vacuum technology, with its bead-filled vacuum insert, molds to the foot like plaster, creating a custom offloading mold that can be re-shaped with each fitting. The boot’s rocker sole promotes a natural walking gait, while the removable sole allows for comfortable wear even in bed.
With washable cloth liners for hygiene and clinically proven results, the VACOped Diabetic Achilles Boot offers unmatched heel offloading and comprehensive foot protection.
