Try the heat-mouldable EPITACT^® night bunion corrector.

Description of the night big toe corrector

The EPITACT^® rigid bunion corrector protects, relieves and corrects bunion or hallux valgus. It alleviates nighttime joint pain and stops painful rubbing and pressure against the bunion. This bunion splint comfortably and progressively straightens the big toe to correct the deviation and thus limit its progression. The EPITACT^® big toe straightener is heat-mouldable and allows customised and progressive correction of hallux valgus.

The rigid big toe corrector has been clinically proven effective. After 1 month of use, 30% of patients said having less joint and rubbing pain and 92% confirmed realignment of their big toe⁽¹⁾. Also, 85% of users are ready to recommend to relatives the bunion splint by EPITACT^®(2).

Why and how to heat-mould the bunion splint?

The process of thermoforming consists of shaping the bunion corrector according to your own foot curves. It allows to gradually increase the degree of correction for comfortable and customised action. You can heat-mould it at home 4 to 5 times, in a few minutes. It includes 4 steps:

1- Place the provided silicone pad on the blue target against the bunion.

2- Soften the thermoplastic reinforcement by plunging the big toe straightener into hot water.

3- Straighten your big toe with the provided separator (the 1st time) or by hand (the next times).

4- Put on the brace and wait a few minutes until the reinforcement cools and becomes hard again.

How does the night bunion corrector work?

The effectiveness of the EPITACT^® big toe straightener is based on a patented pattern that includes:

1) a heat-moulded reinforcement along the inside of the foot that adapts perfectly to your foot shape to provide customised correction and comfort.

2) a hollow area at the bunion that creates free space between the bump and the reinforcement to protect the affected joint from friction and pressure.

3) a thin silicone tendon along the reinforcement against the bunion helps the big toe corrector to stay well in place.

4) an elastic complex of fabric and silicone around the big toe that adapts to different sizes without impeding blood circulation. 

Added advantages of the EPITACT^® rigid big toe straightener

• suitable for both right and left foot;
• available in 3 sizes (S, M, L);

EPITACT^®'s advice

• Only wear the EPITACT^®bunion splint at night or rest.
• Do not wear it if your big toe can still move laterally.
• Think about heat-moulding the big toe corrector before using it.
• For relief during the day too, try the flexible bunion corrector that straightens the big toe and relieves bunion pain while walking.
