Product Description

Recovering from heel surgery, trauma, or managing a heel ulceration requires targeted pressure relief to promote healing while maintaining mobility. The HeelWedge Healing Shoe is clinically proven to reduce heel pressure by over 26% by redistributing weight to the mid and forefoot, allowing the heel to heal faster while patients remain ambulatory and independent during recovery.

Key Features

  • Clinically Validated Off-Loading: Transfers pressure away from the heel to mid and forefoot zones, proven to reduce heel contact by more than 26% for faster wound healing.
  • Square Toe Bumper Design: Protects toes from impact while providing a universal left/right fit that accommodates foot swelling and bandaging.
  • Secure Ankle Strap: Holds the foot firmly in position to prevent heel slippage and eliminate friction that can worsen wounds or cause new irritation.
  • Removable Forefoot Closure: Adjustable strap system provides secure fit without buckle pressure points that could impede circulation or cause discomfort.
  • Zoned Traction Outsole: Aggressive tread pattern concentrated under the mid-foot delivers stability and grip exactly where weight is transferred during use.
  • Double-Padded Removable Insole: Features twice the cushioning of standard insoles and can be modified or completely removed to accommodate custom Peg-Assist off-loading inserts for targeted relief.

Care Instructions

  • Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris; allow to air dry completely before next use.
  • Remove insole periodically to clean separately; hand wash with gentle detergent and air dry away from direct heat sources.
  • Inspect straps and closures regularly for wear or fraying; replace shoe if structural integrity is compromised.
  • Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  • Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this may damage the wedge sole construction.

FAQs

Q: Can I wear this shoe on either foot?

A: Yes. The square toe bumper design provides a universal left/right fit, so one shoe works for either foot without requiring separate left and right models.

Q: Is the insole compatible with custom orthotics or diabetic inserts?

A: The insole is fully removable and can be replaced with Peg-Assist customizable off-loading inserts or other prescribed orthotic devices for additional targeted pressure relief.

Q: How do I choose the correct size if I'm between sizes?

A: Refer to the size chart; if between sizes, consider foot width, bandaging needs, and swelling. The adjustable straps accommodate minor size variations and dressing bulk.

Q: Does this shoe qualify for insurance reimbursement?

A: The suggested HCPCS code L3260 may be used for billing purposes. Check with your insurance provider or Medicare plan for coverage eligibility and documentation requirements.

Q: How long should I wear this shoe during recovery?

A: Wear duration depends on your healthcare provider's protocol and healing progress. Typically used during wound healing phases or post-surgical recovery until cleared for standard footwear.
