The DARCO APB embodies nearly perfect four-season postoperative protection with a closed-toe design that keeps dressings and toes warm and dry. The boot is designed to provide unparalleled versatility by accommodating both bulky dressings and most fibreglass casts, and features a durable EVA outsole that is 20% lighter than previous models. Sold as one shoe, fitting right or left foot.
Key features:
- Relaxed rocker sole — reduces plantar pressure under the forefoot and heel by over 25%
- Square-toe design — protects toes when k-wires are present, provides better left/right fit
- Ankle strap — seats the foot firmly in the shoe to reduce heel slippage and friction
- Removable Forefoot Closure — provides security while eliminating buckle pressure
- Zoned outsole — aggressive tread under the mid-foot where traction is needed most, 150% better rebound to retain shape over time
- Removable insole — twice the padding of standard insoles, modifiable, and can be fully removed to accommodate DARCO's PegAssist (PQ Series) off-loading insole
- Unique metatarsal shank — increases support and rigidity under the forefoot
Indications:
- Post-surgical healing
- Unna boots, casts, and other bulky dressings
- Foot/ankle trauma
- Wounds or ulcerations present under metatarsal heads and toes
