What is Hallux Valgus?
In orthopaedics, Hallux valgus (“bunion“, “bunion pain“) denotes one of the most common, especially among women, malpositioning of the foot (in Germany around 10 million people). The big toe moves outwardly and the corresponding metatarsal bone and metatarsal capitulum (ball of the toe) protrude. At first only a cosmetic problem, serious discomfort can develop in time. Inflammation and swelling of the ball (metatarsal capitulum), incorrect loading and initial joint attrition (arthrosis) lead to strong and continuous pain. Patients suffering from Hallux valgus will either be treated conservatively (Hallux valgus splints) or surgically, depending on the degree of severity. Timely and prophylactic wearing of a Hallux valgus splint can clearly protract or even prevent an operation.

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.
