How Toe Alignment Splits Work

Toe alignment splints, like the TAS, are designed to help correct or maintain the proper alignment of the toes, particularly after surgery or in cases of hallux valgus (bunions), hammer toes or other forefoot/toe conditions.

These splints work by gently realigning and separating the toes - ensuring they stay in the correct position to promote healing and reduce discomfort. The splint features soft, adjustable straps that wrap around the toes, allowing for a customised fit. This keeps the toes from rubbing against each other preventing friction and irritation that can lead to further complications like corns or blisters.

For post-surgical patients, toe alignment splints are often used to maintain the surgical correction and ensure that the toes heal in the optimal position. For those suffering from conditions like bunions or hammer toes - the splint helps to alleviate discomfort by gradually encouraging the toes into a more natural alignment. The super-soft material of the Darco TAS provides comfort while maintaining support, making it suitable for use during both day and night.
