Tube Foam (Pedi-Foam) to Cushion Crooked Toes and Bunions

Tube Foam (Pedi Foam) are tube-shaped cushions with dozens of uses for foot and toes.

- They surround, cushion and protect toes, corns, bunions, and hammertoes.
- The soft medical grade foam of tube foam (pedi foam) absorb the pressure and friction to cushion and separate toes that rub.
- One side is double thick for added cushioning.
- Tube Foam (Pedi Foam) can be easily trimmed with scissors for a custom fit.
- Cover crooked hammertoes to help prevent corn formation.
- Prevents shoe friction rubbing on bunions and toes.
- Our tube foam is proudly made in the USA.

Average Leg-Length Inequality in Total Hip Arthroplasty was 9.7 mm (3/8")

Uneven leg length is one of the complications of a total hip replacement surgery.

A study by the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Naval Medical Center, Oakland, California revealed; "Leg-length inequality was determined by orthoroentgenography and compared with clinical measurements of leg length. The average inequality in this series of patients was 9.7 mm. A significant number (32%) of patients were aware of this inequality; the average leg-length inequality in this group was 14.9 mm. More than half of these patients were disturbed by the inequality. The magnitude of leg-length inequality closely correlated with awareness of the inequality, abnormal gait, use of ambulatory assistive devices, the need for a shoe lift, prior leg-length inequality." Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 1995 Apr;24(4):347-51.

Heel lifts are a vital treatment option for patients after their total hip replacement surgery with limb length discrepancy. A short leg should be properly measured and an appropriately sized heel lift dispensed into their shoe.

Atlas Biomechanics manufactures heel lifts in EVA/Rubber Blend and Cork/Rubber Blend in sizes;

3 mm (1/8")
6 mm (1/4")
9 mm (3/8")
12 mm (1/2")

Adjustable Heel Lift with built in Heel Wedge

The only adjustable heel lift with a built-in varus or valgus heel wedge. Why have a heel wedge when treating unequal leg length? The short leg will have an inverted (valgus ) calcaneus. Our adjustable heel lift brings the ground up to the foot for a better fit and feel.

 Adjustable Heel Lift with Varus or Valgus heel wedge 
-Three removable 3 mm (1/8 inch) rubber cork layers.
-Each layer is peelable to achieve the proper correction of limb length discrepancy.
-1/2 of the bottom layer can be peeled for varus or valgus correction.
-Helps prevent pronation of the Subtalar Joint of the short limb.
-Most short limbs will have an inverted calcaneus, our heel lift brings the ground to the foot.
-More stabilizing foundation to the short limb.
-Easily fabricate either a Varus Heel Wedge or Valgus Heel Wedge

Sizes: Small: women 4-7 Medium: women 8-10, men 7-9 Large: women 9-11, men 10-14

Stick On Foot Pads To Cushion Callus Pain

Stick on foot pads are designed to cushion foot callus pain. These callus pads come in different shapes. The most common are U-Shaped, Circle, and Oval. They have adhesive on the back of the pad to stick directly on the foot skin or the cushions can be pasted onto the shoe's insole. There are three materials used to produce stick on foot pads. They are Felt, Foam, and Gel. 

The gel foot pads are designed to be re-used and stay sticky for several months. To make them sticky after use, just hand wash them in soapy water and let them air dry.

Circle Foot Pads: They are rings measuring 1 1/4" across. They come in either medical grade felt or foam. They have a peelable paper backing and will stick on the foot via skin adhesive.

Oval Foot Pads: These oval foot cushions measure 2" X 1 1/2", come in medical grade felt, foam or re-usable gel. They also are a stick on footpad pads with skin adhesive.

U Shaped Foot Pads: u-shaped foot pads measure 1 3/4" X 2", are produced in medical grade foam, felt or reusable gel. These are also stick on foot pads.

Stick on foot pads are easy to use and can prevent callus pain.
