Product Description
AliMed HVO is a lightweight, orthosis you can custom fabricate right in your office or in the O.R. It provides progressive correction of hallux valgus and delivers complete toe stability. Simply heat the thermo-moldable splint blank in a hot water bath (order separately) then mold it to the user. Once cooled, it holds its shape and will not stretch. You can mold the HVO to exact correction, either post-surgically or as a night splint, and remold it for progressive splinting. Eliminate the bulky bandages and plaster associated with post-operative care. The HVO holds the toe position and still allows for post-op swelling -- just loosen the hook and loop strap (included). Washable. One size. Instructions included. When to use this splint: Juvenile hallux valgus: Corrects 50% of inoperable hallux valgus deviations. Stabilizes deviation in 85% of users after two years of use. For patients 16 years of age and younger. Painful hallux valgus: For very mild deformities causing soreness at metatarsal head. Can relieve pain after just a few weeks of use. Postsurgical immobilization: Maintains positioning. Users can walk with a postsurgical shoe as soon as pain subsides. Nonsurgical cases: Severe bursitis where surgery is not possible. Holds the large toe so tissues can heal. Also help correct a mild deviation that patient finds aesthetically unacceptable.
