Separate Bunion Regulator's hook-and-loop band
from itself and the remove free end. (Leave sewn
loop on bottom splint arm, which goes under foot.)
Insert big toe between leather-covered cushion
and other cushion at the concave part of splint.
Be sure leather-covered cushion covers bunion
joint. Lead hook-and-loop band around outside
of foot and through slot on top splint arm. Adjust
tension by pulling band so big toe moves slightly.
Fold hook-and-loop band onto itself. Press together
to secure.
Limit initial usage periods to 30 minutes each.
Gradually wear splint for longer durations and
increase band tension as comfort level improves.
Results will vary based on the severity and nature
of the condition. Wearing the splint regularly
can reduce discomfort and pain while possibly
slowing the progression of bunion deformity.
Note: This splint is designed for use while resting.
We do not recommend using it while standing or
walking. If desired, a sock may be worn over the
splint to keep your foot warm and reduce interference
with bedding. Do not wear this splint with shoes
.
