Product Description

Recovering from forefoot surgery, trauma, or managing diabetic ulcerations requires pressure redistribution to protect healing tissue. The Darco OrthoWedge Off-Loading Healing Shoe shifts weight away from vulnerable forefoot areas, reducing pressure by up to 57% while providing post-operative stability and protection during ambulation.

Key Features

  • 15-degree wedge sole transfers body weight to the midfoot and heel, clinically proven to cut forefoot pressure by 57%
  • Square toe bumper design protects exposed K-wires and accommodates dressings while ensuring better bilateral fit
  • Adjustable ankle strap secures the foot in position to prevent heel slippage and friction-related skin breakdown
  • Removable forefoot closure eliminates buckle contact while maintaining secure positioning across the instep
  • Zoned tread outsole concentrates traction beneath the midfoot where ground contact occurs during gait
  • Enhanced cushioning insole provides double the padding of standard inserts and accepts customizable Peg-Assist modifications

FAQs

Q: Can this shoe accommodate bandages or wound dressings?

A: Yes, the square toe box and removable forefoot closure provide extra volume for bulky dressings, surgical padding, or K-wire extensions.

Q: Is the insole removable if I need custom orthotics?

A: The insole removes completely and is compatible with Peg-Assist customizable off-loading inserts (available separately) for targeted pressure relief zones.

Q: How do I determine the correct size?

A: Measure your shoe size and refer to the size chart above. The design accommodates both feet, so order based on your larger foot if sizes differ.

Q: Will this shoe prevent heel slippage during walking?

A: The ankle strap secures the foot firmly in the heel cup, minimizing slippage and reducing friction that could irritate healing tissue.

Q: Does insurance typically cover this healing shoe?

A: Many plans cover off-loading footwear under HCPCS code L3260 when medically necessary. Contact your provider with a prescription from your physician or podiatrist.
