The bunion protector in size S is designed as a medical device for mechanical support and relief of metatarsal exostosis (bunion). The combination of medical silicone and elastic fabric (polyamide/elastane) provides a soft interface between the bony prominence and footwear, reducing point pressure and friction that cause pain, redness, and skin irritation. Its thin and flexible profile allows use during everyday and low-to-medium impact sports activities, maintaining the functional alignment of the first toe without adding significant volume to the shoe.
The relief offered is mechanical in nature: cushioning and separation of soft tissue reduce direct load on the bunion from the first moment of use, although structural modification of the foot requires medical or orthopedic assessment and treatment in advanced cases. It fits feet size 36-38 (size S) and, if in doubt between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller to ensure proper fit and avoid displacement. The product is compatible with fitness and mild rehabilitation sports practice, as well as walking activities; it is useful in postoperative or conservative recovery plans when indicated by a healthcare professional.
As it is a medical device and not a food supplement, it does not belong to the scope of multivitamins, protein shakes, sports supplements, or vitamin supplements; however, its use may complement rehabilitation and sports nutrition protocols by minimizing mechanical pain that limits physical activity.
The design facilitates maintenance: wash before first use and clean regularly to avoid accumulation of sweat or irritants. It features a low profile, good relative breathability, and a geometry that houses the first toe in a specific compartment to improve stability. In patients with sensitive skin or circulatory conditions (e.g., advanced diabetes, arteriopathy), its indication and use should be supervised by a healthcare professional. The immediate effect is usually the reduction of friction and pressure; lasting improvement of symptoms and deformity depends on complementary measures (proper footwear, plantar orthoses, physiotherapy, or surgery when appropriate).

What exactly is this protector for?
It is used to reduce friction and direct pressure on the protrusion of the first metatarsal (bunion), decreasing local pain, redness, and skin irritation caused by footwear.
How long does it take to notice relief?
Mechanical relief through cushioning and separation is immediate from the first use; sustained symptom reduction depends on frequency of use and complementary measures prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Can it be used during sports practice?
It is compatible with low to moderate impact activities and fitness routines; in high-demand sports or where shoe fit is critical, it should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Is it suitable for people with diabetes?
Users with diabetes or vascular disorders require prior assessment by a healthcare professional to avoid complications from pressure or loss of sensitivity.
How to choose the correct size?
Size S corresponds to 36-38. If there is doubt between two sizes, it is suggested to select the smaller one to optimize fit and prevent slipping.
Can it be used with insoles or orthopedic separators?
Yes, it is usually compatible with support insoles and separators, provided there is enough space inside the shoe; joint fit should be checked.
Does it require anti-doping certification?
No anti-doping certification is required: it is an external medical device without ingestible active ingredients.
What is its shelf life and maintenance?
The shelf life depends on use and care; periodic cleaning with water and neutral soap and air drying prolong durability. Regular inspection to detect wear or loss of elasticity is recommended.
1. Wash before first use with water and neutral soap; rinse and air dry.
2. Place the protector on the foot ensuring that the big toe is inserted into the designated compartment and that the silicone area is centered over the bunion.
3. Use with stockings or socks to improve grip and reduce slipping inside the footwear.
4. Incorporate into walking or activity routine gradually according to tolerance; combine with appropriate footwear measures and professional control if necessary.
5. Wash regularly and check integrity before each use.
- Medical device; read labeling and instructions before use.
- Do not apply on open wounds, infected or erythematous skin without professional assessment.
- In case of known allergy to silicone, polyamide or elastane, avoid use.
- In patients with peripheral neuropathy or vascular insufficiency, recommend use under medical supervision to prevent undetected pressure injuries.
- Does not replace medical or surgical treatment when necessary; acts as a symptomatic and preventive measure against friction.
- If increased pain, persistent inflammation, skin discoloration changes or signs of infection are observed, consult a healthcare professional.
- Avoid prolonged use without periodic skin inspection to detect maceration or pressure injuries.
- Keep away from heat sources that may deform the silicone.
- Compatibility with sports practice: suitable for recreational and rehabilitative use, but in high-performance competitions with very tight footwear its application may be limited.
