    The DARCO OrthoWedge™ is clinically proven to reduce weight bearing pressure on the forefoot which promotes faster healing after surgery, trauma or when forefoot wounds or ulcerations are present.

    • 15o Wedge Sole effectively shifts body weight to the midfoot and heel. Reduces forefoot pressure by as much as 57%!
    • Square Toe Design acts as a bumper to protect the toes when k-wires are present and provides better Left/Right fit.
    • Ankle Strap seats foot firmly in shoe to reduce heel slippage and eliminate friction.
    • Removable Forefoot Closure provides security while eliminating buckle pressure.
    • Zoned Outsole has an aggressive tread under the mid-foot where traction is needed most.
    • Removable Insole features twice the padding of standard insoles and can be modified as needed.
    Indications for Use
    • Post surgical healing.
    • Forefoot trauma.
    • Wounds or ulcerations present under metatarsal heads and toes.
    • Any situation that requires a pressure off-load of the forefoot.
