Epitact

Corrective Night Orthosis

For Onion Hallux Valgus

Description
Wearing the EPITACT® Night Corrective Orthosis daily helps correct deformation and limit the evolution of hallux valgus. It helps to relieve joint pain at night and eliminates contact pains.

Recommendations for use
• First, check that the big toe can still move sideways when manipulated. Otherwise, do not use this device.
• The orthosis can be thermoformed indifferently on the right or left foot.
• During the first 3 applications, it is recommended to wear the orthosis for only 2 hours.
• During subsequent uses, wear the orthosis overnight.
During the first few uses it is possible to experience joint pain. If these persist for more than 7 nights, contact your doctor.
• After using the orthosis for a month and in the absence of pain, a second thermoforming can be done to increase the correction (see the thermoforming instructions provided). The desired correction will then be obtained without the retractor, but by pulling the big toe laterally (see the diagram opposite).

Thermoforming
Follow the thermoforming instructions provided. The night corrective orthosis can be thermoformed several times. If necessary, consult a podiatrist.

Positioning
• Insert the forefoot into the large strap.
• Then insert the big toe into the small sleeve.
• Make sure that the white target is located at the level of the “onion” (see the diagram in the thermoforming instructions provided).

Maintenance
• Machine wash at 40 ° C in the supplied mesh or by hand (without rubbing).
• Leave to dry naturally. Do not iron. Do not expose to heat (> 50 ° C).
