Cork Adjustable Heel Lift with built in Varus/Valgus Heel Wedge

Atlas Biomechanics has developed a total new type of heel lift. We manufacture the only cork adjustable heel lift with a varus or valgus heel wedge built into the device. This type of adjustable heel lift is more stabilizing to the short leg. We are the only ones producing such an in shoe heel lift.

Atlas Biomechanics 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.

The heel wedge part helps prevent pronation of the Subtalar Joint of the short limb.

Most short legs will have an inverted calcaneus, our heel lift brings the ground to the foot.

More stabilizing foundation to the short limb.

Rubber cork is durable, light weight and comfortable.

Easily fabricate either a Varus Heel Wedge or Valgus Heel Wedge.

Adjustable Cork Heel Lift, With Built In Varus or Valgus Heel Wedge

Atlas Biomechanics spent 2 years developing a new type of heel lift, the Triple V Heel Lift. The Triple V Adjustable Cork Heel Lift has varus and valgus tilt control with variable height adjustment.
The Triple V Heel Lift has 3 peelable 3 mm thick rubber cork layers to achieve proper height for limb length discrepancy. The bottom layer has a removable cork to achieve varus or valgus correction.

Most patients with limb length discrepancy, the short limb subtalar joint is in varus or inverted position for compensation. The Triple V Adjustable Cork Heel Lift corrects the inverted subtalar joint for patient compliance.
