INDICATIONS:
Pedifix Bunion Regulators control the position of the big toe. It relieves pain by alleviating strain that causes a crooked big toe and a bunion deformity. This anatomically-shaped splint urges the big toe towards its normal position while gently stretching tendons and muscles to help slow progression of the condition.
DIRECTIONS:
Separate Bunion Regulator`s hook-and-loop band from itself and the remove free end. (Leave sewn loop on bottom splint arm which goes under foot. ) Insert big toe between leather-covered cushion and other cushion at the concave part of splint. Be sure leather-covered cushion covers bunion joint. Lead hook-and-loop band around outside of foot and through slot on top splint arm. Adjust tension by pulling band so big toe moves slightly. Fold hook-and-loop band onto itself. Press together to secure.
Limit initial usage periods to 30 minutes each. Gradually wear splint for longer durations and increase band tension as comfort level improves. Results will vary based on the severity and nature of the condition. Wearing the splint regularly can reduce discomfort and pain while possibly slowing the progression of bunion deformity.
