When do I need bandage shoes?
If you have had surgery on your feet and they are still in the bandage or if you cannot wear shoes due to edema (with the threat of wounds), bandage shoes are an ideal solution. Bandage shoes is a collective name for different types of temporary shoes, which are often used on the foot after surgery or medical treatment. This concerns ready-to-wear dressing shoes, which are available in different versions: for example, in different widths and height sizes. It can also be special versions with ‘floating’ toes or cutouts for the heel.
A closed or open bandage shoe
Darco supplies shoes that can be used universally, but there are different between an open or closed dressing shoe. The difference in these shoes determines whether the shoes are for indoor or outdoor use. A closed bandage shoe provides additional protection and compression. The shoe has an anti-slip sole and is therefore suitable for outdoor use.
What can a plaster shoe be used for?
A plaster shoe makes wearing running plaster comfortable. The ultra-light shoe with comfortable fit ensures that the foot gets what it desires without you noticing. In addition, the shoe is pulled over the plaster so that it has an ‘extra protective layer.’ In addition, you can decide for yourself in which situations it is used due to the easy pull-on and pull-out system and the adaptability. The plaster shoe is used for both running and foot injuries. Think of whipping, a meniscus injury or a cruciate ligament injury.
