    The OPED VACOpedes offers optimal pressure relief in the area of ​​the forefoot and midfoot. The vacuum cushion ensures optimal and individual adjustment even in the event of swelling and also ensures high stability. The rolling sole leads to a physiological and safe gait pattern.

    OPED's patented vacuum technology is the modern alternative to plaster and is integral to the VACO range of products. A cushion filled with thousands of styrofoam pearls surrounds the injured body part. When air is extracted from the cushion by using a pump, it becomes hard (like a cast), in just a few seconds. Opening the valve and letting airflow inside the cushion causes it to become soft again, allowing for readjustment to the body part.

    This innovative vacuum cushion avoids pressure to the body site and provides stability due to a perfectly shaped orthosis every time.

    • Immobilisation of the forefoot with full mobility in the ankle
