Epitact Hallux Valgus Protection Gel Size L

Epitact Hallux Valgus Protection Gel Size L it's a CE medical device for the rubbing pain of the hallux valgus. It's a thin insert of 1 mm, in size L.

The point to understand before buying it is declared by the manufacturer himself: protects, not corrects. Hallux valgus is a bony deviation, and no soft insert straightens it. What this product does is get the rubbing pain, which is the part of the problem that you feel every time you walk in a shoe.

The material isEpithelium 26, a Patented silicone gel. The number that matters is the thickness: 1 mm. A pad would often protect more but would take up volume inside the shoe, and on a protrusion already in conflict with the upper, adding volume means adding pressure. A millimeter is the useful measurement in case of closed shoes, where there is no space.

Protection is reversible: it is worn on both feet by turning it inside out, so there is no right and left version. It is washable e reusable, and this distinguishes it from disposable foam plasters.

Thehallux valgus it doesn't hurt per se: it hurts because the protrusion of the joint touches the shoe with every step and the skin above it becomes inflamed. It is the reason why the pain changes with the shoe and not with the deviation, and why a millimeter of gel in the right place it weighs more than the size suggests.

There are three sizes, S, M e L, and this is the L. Epitact is the French brand specializing in thin silicone gel orthoses.
