Hallufix
Made in Germany, 
Hallufix® is the first day-and-night comfort splint, developed by scientists and orthopedists for pain relief and correction of big toe malpositioning (“Hallux valgus, bunion pain”). Hallufix® is the first Hallux valgus splint that can be worn not only at night but also “invisibly” in the shoe during the day!
Whether at rest or under load, Hallufix® protects and corrects every time and everywhere. This Hallufix® portal provides you with information about the further advantages of the new day and night splint.
What is Hallufix® ?
Hallufix® was developed by scientists and orthopedists for pain relief and correction of big toe malpositioning (“bunion pain”, medical term: Hallux valgus). The dynamic day and night comfort splint corrects toe malpositioning demonstrably, protects and relieves the painful bunion and supports the entire foot while walking.
The splint is easily put on and can be worn left or right. The particular advantage of Hallufix: Unlike traditional rigid Hallux valgus night splints, this patented splint system can be worn during the day under load (while walking). By means of an integrated joint next to the bunion, the natural flexibility of the big toes’ base joint is retained while wearing the splint. And due to its flat design, the splint fits smoothly into almost any walking shoe.
Hallufix offers protection and correction of feet affected by Hallux valgus at anytime and anywhere.
How does Hallufix® work?
Hallufix returns the foot to its natural shape, protects and relieves the painful bunion. By means of the splint worn on the big toe, the shrunken soft parts (capsule) of the big toe’s base joint are expanded, and the progressive malpositioning of the joint is corrected. Via the system of splint, metatarsal and toe bandage, the foot is stabilized and incorrect loading corrected. With the aid of Hallufix, a foot deformed by Hallux valgus can perform the natural flexing action free of pain.
Furthermore, the transversal arch support puts the transversal arch upright again. The splayfoot (a very frequent concomitant of the toe malpositioning Hallux valgus) is effectively supported by it while wearing the splint. Advantage: Hallufix combines the corrective function of a Hallux valgus night splint and the supporting function of an arch support for the metatarsal arch in a single product.
How can I use Hallufix® ?
Hallufix can be used prophylactically for mild to medium Hallux valgus as well as after a Hallux valgus operation.
Prophylactical use of Hallufix:
Initially considered merely a blemish, bunions can cause an increasing amount of pain in the course of time. In the case of a mild to medium-severe development of bunion (Hallux valgus), regular wear of Hallufix eases the pain and counteracts further aggravation of big toe malpositioning.
Studies confirm that the Hallufix orthosis is an effective device in correcting incorrect loading of the foot in the case of mild to medium-severe and not yet rigid Hallux valgus malpositioning.
Hallufix application following a Hallux valgus
operation:
Following a Hallux valgus operation a
conservative aftertreatment with an orthosis is
generally recommended in order to stabilise the
surgical adjustment of the toe. The Hallufix
splint optimally aids securing the result of the
operation and protects the foot even under load
while walking. An early mobilisation is
possible. Frequently, wearing bulky special
shoes can be avoided. The postoperative rehab
phase is shortened!
