VACOPEDES DIABETIC

The VACOpedes Diabetic is an excellent offloading option for patients who cannot tolerate a full-height boot. Low height and built in range of motion allow for easy walking gait. Excellent choice for patients who have difficulty walking in high boot.

The OPED VACOpedes Diabetic provides immobilisation of the forefoot with diabetic friendly liner and extra VACO 12 cushioning. 

VACO12 technology is the core technology of the VACO Products. A cushion filled with thousands of styrofoam pearls is surrounding the injured body parts. By the perfectly round shape of the pearls they can absorb 12 times the pressure each. When air is extracted from the cushion by using a pump, the body shaped cushion becomes hard (as a cast does), just in a few seconds. By opening the valve and letting air flowing inside the cushion, it becomes soft again and can be re-adjusted to the body part. Hence the Vacuum Technology avoids pressure to the body site and provides stability due to a perfectly shaped orthosis at any time.
