Gel Toe Spacer/spreader

Q: Q: How long with the spacer last?

A:The gel is very durable and is expected to last several months , perhaps years depending on usage and care.

Q: Q: Can the spacer be trimmed?

A: Yes the pad can be trimmed with scissors for a more precise fit.

Q: Q: How can this spacer help a bunion?

A: If the bunion is flexible and the big toe can easily manipulated into a straight position, a spacer will put the joint into a more normal position . Therefore the bump of the bunion is lessened because the bone is not getting pushed outward anymore by the big toe.

Gel spacers help reduce irritation between adjacent, overlapping, or crowded toes.

The bigger sized gel toe spacer/toe spreaders are used as an interdigital wedge for a bunion deformity. This helps align and straighten the big toe, helping it function better—which in turn reduces the bunion prominence and decreases pressure here.

Due to their soft, conforming properties, these spreaders are extremely comfortable. The gel material will outlast similar products made from felt or foam.

Mainly used to separate the big toe from the 2nd toe, but any size of gel spacer can help with overlapping toes, toe drift, or crooked toes that rub. It can be trimmed with scissors to provide a more customized fit.

When to see a podiatrist first

Foot pads and toe products are a good first step for many people, but some situations need an in-person exam first. Please see your podiatrist first if:

You have diabetes, neuropathy (numbness or tingling) or poor circulation.
There is an open sore, redness, swelling or warmth.
The problem started after an injury, or it is severe or getting worse.
It has not improved after 2 to 3 weeks of correct use.

WARNINGS

If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or neuropathy (numbness or tingling in the feet), consult a physician or foot specialist before use. Do not use on broken, inflamed skin or open wounds. If pain, irritation, or additional discomfort occurs, stop use and consult a foot specialist. Remove before bed and for at least 4 hours during the day. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
