Custom silicone toe orthoses
A custom-made silicone toe orthosis helps protect the toes and relieve pressure on vulnerable areas. We adapt its shape to the anatomy of the foot and the goal agreed during your appointment.
What is a custom toe orthosis?
It is a small foot care aid moulded from silicone material to fit the toes. Depending on your needs, it can separate toes that rub together, protect a sensitive area or support the toes. It is not an insole that fills the whole shoe.
Its purpose is to reduce pressure and friction and support toe alignment within the toes’ available range of movement. An orthosis does not guarantee permanent straightening of a fixed deformity.
When can it be helpful?
We consider an orthosis for painful pressure points, toes rubbing together and certain toe alignment problems. The condition of the skin, toe mobility and space in your footwear matter, as well as the appearance of the foot.
If pressure causes recurring corns or hard skin, pressure relief can complement care of the affected areas. For problems involving weight distribution across the whole foot, consider discussing foot assessment and insole fitting.
How is it fitted?
First, we assess the area causing discomfort and agree on a goal. We then mould the silicone material, check the fit of the orthosis and explain how to put it on. Bring the shoes you wear most often — they must have room for your foot and the orthosis.
Usage and care
Wear the orthosis as advised during your appointment. Clean it gently and dry it thoroughly; the care instructions depend on the material used. Regularly check your skin and the orthosis itself.
Pain, rubbing or redness are signs to remove the orthosis and have its fit checked. Do not trim it yourself. Tell us beforehand about diabetes, altered sensation, circulation problems or wounds on your foot.
