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 Achill extends the field of application by being able to treat achilles tendon ruptures in equinus position. This is possible by an adjustable joint having a ROM (range of motion) setting in 5°-steps from -15° to +30° in conjunction with the wedged sole which is included in every VACOped.

OP/Treatment Success and Time Saving Ensured by
● a fast and easy modification from VACOped to Achill-setting via simple self-alignment and supplied wedged sole.
● the opportunity of controlled movement release with defined range of motion in the ankle
● the possibility to adjust ROM (range of motion) in 5°-steps from 30° setting through to the zero position
● earlier walking under full weight bearing

We wish a speedy recovery.

«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.
