Apollo

• Partial Foot Decompression Shoe with zero-heel technology (Post-Surgical Shoe)

Mode of Action

• the post surgical shoe with its distinctive rocker sole follows the no-heel-technology and thereby relieves the whole foot during stance and swing phase
• benefits the healing process of wounds in the forefoot area
• the removable padded insole prevents pressure peaks in the foot sole area
• inner lining fabric of the shoe as well as cover fabric of the padded insole are anti-bacterially equipped based on ammonium-silane-compound; this limits colonisation of the material with certain bacterial strains (e.g. Staphylokokkus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae)

Indication

• post-surgically to help heal surgical operations and wounds of the forefoot, such as hallux valgus corrections

Contraindication

• do not use for the above indications, if a sufficient pressure relief cannot be achieved
• do not wear directly on injured, irritated or damaged skin (before application, please cover the skin with wound dressing or a sock)
• do not use for instable or fracture prone diabetic neuro-osteoarthropathic foot syndrome, DNOAP (e.g. florid charcot foot)
• use only with walking supports
• weight limit: 120 kg / 264 lbs.

Feature

Sensory loss due to diabetic polyneuropathy (PNP), i.e. occuring sensations to the feet such as pressure, temperature, pain are not perceived timeously. Regular fitting check-ups are necessary!

Due to the shape of the rocker bottom sole, the user experiences quick mobilisation. For certain surgical techniques such as close-to-base metatarsal alignment, the mobilisation must be discussed with the physician in charge and if necessary, a different therapy shoe type, e.g. „Jupiter“ item-no. 205R1 must be selected.

„Apollo“ can be worn on the left or right side! Please do not wear in pairs.
