VACO paso Free M pressure relief to care for the Diabetic foot

VACO paso Free M: Advanced Pressure Relief for Diabetic Foot Care

The VACO paso Free M is a revolutionary vacuum orthosis meticulously designed to provide superior pressure relief and support for individuals suffering from diabetic foot syndrome. Developed by OPED GmbH, this medical device facilitates both conservative and post-operative treatment, promoting optimal healing and enhancing mobility. Its unique VACO12 vacuum cushion conforms precisely to the foot's anatomy, ensuring individualized pressure distribution and comfort. The integrated rocker sole allows for a natural gait, supporting early mobilization and improving patient quality of life.

Benefits of Use:

• Significantly reduces pressure on the plantar surface of the foot, crucial for healing diabetic foot ulcers.
• Promotes faster wound healing by creating an optimal environment and preventing further injury.
• Enhances patient mobility and comfort through its lightweight design and natural rocker sole.
• Allows for easy and hygienic wound inspection and care without removing the entire orthosis.
• Provides highly individualized support and fit thanks to the adaptable VACO12 vacuum technology.

How to Use:

1. Preparation: Ensure the foot and lower leg are clean and free of any dressings that might interfere with the orthosis. If instructed by a healthcare professional, apply appropriate wound dressings.
2. Application: Open the VACO paso Free M boot. Place your foot gently into the orthosis, ensuring the heel is seated correctly.
3. Vacuum Adjustment: Utilize the integrated pump system to adjust the VACO12 vacuum cushion. This allows the cushion to mold perfectly around your foot and lower leg, providing custom support and even pressure distribution. Follow your healthcare professional's instructions for the appropriate vacuum level.
4. Securing the Boot: Close the straps securely but comfortably, ensuring the boot is stable without being too tight.
5. Walking: Begin walking slowly, allowing yourself to adapt to the rocker sole. The sole is designed to facilitate a natural, gentle gait.
6. Regular Checks: Periodically check your foot for any signs of discomfort, rubbing, or new pressure points, especially during the initial days of use. Consult your doctor if any issues arise.

• Medical Supervision: Always use the VACO paso Free M under the guidance and supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
• Contraindications: Do not use if you have unstable fractures, wounds located significantly distal to the ankle (unless specifically advised by a doctor), or if you are unable to comply with the instructions for use.

• Hygiene: Maintain good foot hygiene while using the device. Follow cleaning instructions provided with the product.
