Benefits of Use

• **Optimal Pressure Offloading:** The vacuum cushion technology evenly distributes pressure across the foot and ankle, crucial for preventing and managing diabetic ulcers.
• **Enhanced Stability and Immobilization:** Provides rigid support to stabilize fractures and injuries, facilitating proper healing.
• **Customized Fit:** The unique vacuum system molds precisely to the individual anatomy, ensuring comfort and reducing shear forces.
• **Improved Hygiene:** The liner is easily removable and washable, maintaining high standards of hygiene for diabetic patients.
• **Early Mobilization:** The rocker sole design supports a natural gait, allowing for controlled weight-bearing and early mobilization where medically appropriate.
• **Reduced Swelling:** Consistent compression from the vacuum cushion can help manage edema.

How to Use

1. **Prepare the Foot:** Ensure the foot and lower leg are clean and dry. Apply any necessary wound dressings as directed by your physician.
2. **Insert Foot:** Open the liner and position your foot and lower leg comfortably within the orthosis. Ensure the heel is seated firmly at the back.
3. **Close Liner:** Gently close the soft liner around your leg and foot, securing any internal fasteners if present.
4. **Secure Straps:** Fasten the outer straps, starting from the bottom (foot) and moving upwards (calf). Tighten them until the boot feels snug but not uncomfortably tight.
5. **Activate Vacuum Pump:** Locate the vacuum pump on the side of the orthosis. Begin pumping to evacuate air from the cushion, allowing it to mold around your leg. Continue until the cushion feels firm and provides secure immobilization.
6. **Check Fit:** Ensure there are no pressure points or areas of discomfort. The boot should feel stable and supportive. Consult your physician or medical professional if you experience any issues.
7. **Walking:** When ambulating, use the rocker sole for a natural roll-off motion. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding weight-bearing status.
