Uranus

• Partial Foot Decompression Shoe (Post-Surgical Shoe)

Mode of Action

• main feature is a rigid, slightly ascending outsole towards the front (negative heel)
• pressure relief and pressure distribution during the walking cycle
• benefits the healing process of wounds in the forefoot area
• the post-surgical shoe embraces the entire foot- and ankle area with a softly padded shoe upper
• hook- and loop fasteners at the wide flap prevent slipping within the shoe
• the removable padded insole prevents pressure peaks in the foot sole area
• the flap can be opened widely and together with the individually adjustable hook- and loop fasteners, it provides sufficient space for bandaged feet
• improved slip protection by integrated anti-slip nubs
• 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)
