The goal of a bunion splint is to pad the painful areas. Some patients will try and wear them to correct the bunion deformity before considering bunion surgery.
If you take the concept of braces for your teeth, a bunion splint works the same way. The main problem with bunion splints is the amount of time they are worn.
If you spend more time outside of the splint than in it, the product will not work.
Darco Bunion Splint
Helps to keep your toe straight after bunion surgery!
The soft but sturdy construction of this splint allows for maximum comfort, while splinting the big toe in a straight position. Gently stretching the soft tissues around the big toe joint helps prevent the bunion from returning after surgery. We have found that this splint may help to provide added insurance for a good post-surgical result. Wearing this splint after surgery may also help to control swelling
