EPITHELIUM 26®Epitact® has created a hallux valgus protector that contains a disc of Epithelium 26® gel, which limits pressure and rubbing of the bunion. This means that it relieves pain and prevents the formation of calluses.
INDICATIONS- To prevent pain caused by pressure or excessive friction on bunions.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS- Do not use on an open wound.- Persons with arteritis, diabetes, polyneuritis, peripheral neuropathy, or foot ulcers: consult your physician or chiro- podist before application and monitor your foot during use.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE- The hallux valgus protection pad should be worn next to the skin, on the right or left foot.- Slip your foot into the protection pad, putting your big toe in the tubular part. The Epithelium 26® gel module should be placed on the hallux valgus.- To help the protection pad to remain in position, wear tights, socks or stockings over it.
WHAT IT IS USED FOR-Patented by chiropodists, Epithelium 26® is a silicone gel with similar pressure distribution properties to those of human subcutaneous tissue.- For “bunions“, the thin module of Epithelium 26® enables the hallux valgus protection to effectively minimize impin- gement pain but without additional pressure.- Hallux valgus protections are for protective purposes only; they are not designed to correct the bunion.
CLEANING- Machine-washable at 30°C in the washing net provided or hand-wash (without scrubbing).- Leave to dry naturally. Do not iron.
