Applying VACOped
Pull the green valve ring outwards. Place your foot into the fabric inner boot. Close the fabric cover. With the inner boot on, step into the lower shell. Place the upper shell over the front of the fabric cover, fasten the straps.
Adjusting and Stabilising the Vacuum Cushion
Attach the small grey end of the pump to the circular tip of the valve. Pump repeatedly until pump no longer inflates. Close the valve cap.
VACOped is the most modern and effective treatment option for any injury in the foot or ankle. A range of clinical studies have proven the superior results for patients fitted with VACOped, with significant reductions in recovery time. Our proven therapy concept yields best results and provides various benefits to both surgeon and patient.
VACOped has an adaptable vacuum cushion which forms to any
foot and lower leg shape.
This adaption process can be repeated any number of times. A light and very sturdy plastic shell gives the necessary support.
VACOped provides more mobility than a plaster cast due to its
specific design.

«VACUUM TECHNOLOGY»
VACO12 technology forms the basis of medical technology products. A cushion filled with thousands of beads surrounds an injured body part. Air is extracted from the cushion using a pump. A plastic frame provides additional stability similar to that of a plaster cast. The body part is provided with optimum protection, though the product can be put on or taken off at any time. This is an important aspect in terms of hygiene. Evidently, OPED products save time and costs for clinics and doctors.

I am currently using one of these and find it uncomfortable on teh top of my foot near my ankle. It presses down causing pain even when not using my leg. Any advice on how to stop this?

[@OPEDInternational]

Hi Darren, yes, pressure points should not occure. Please use the vacuum function to reshape the beads: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6HLZJd6qN-sptk How this works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF67qZqZgsaEh6c&pp=ygUUdmFjb3BlZCByZSBkbyB2YWN1dW0%3D If you still have problems or find it difficult please contact us at [e-mail] and let us know the country you are from so we can arrange a support call with one of our professionals.
