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
