Hallufix
Hallufix®, the first day and
night comfort splint, was developed by
scientists and orthopaedists for pain relief and
correction of big toe malpositioning (“Hallux
valgus, bunion pain”). Hallufix® is the first
Hallux valgus splint that cannot only be worn 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 orthopaedists 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
base joint of the big toe is retained while
wearing the splint. And: due to the 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 base joint
of the big toe are expanded and the progressive
malpositioning of the joint is corrected. Via
the system of splint, metatarsal and toe
bandage, the foot is stabilised 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!
