Description
The Tynor Bunion Splint is a hinged big-toe splint designed to help hold the big toe in a straighter, more aligned position for hallux valgus (bunion). It can also be worn after bunion surgery to help maintain the toe's alignment. A dynamic motion hinge keeps the foot flexible, so the splint can be worn while walking, as a day or night splint, and the cushioned ball-joint pad is designed to support the transverse arch. Supplied by Australian Healthcare Supplies, a registered NDIS provider based in Perth, Western Australia.
Features
- Dynamic motion hinge that flexes with the toe, so the splint can be worn while walking
- Strong, ventilated moulded polymer shell, anatomically shaped to suit almost every foot size
- Cushioned ball-joint pad, designed to support the transverse arch and help unload the ball of the foot
- Soft, adjustable mid-foot and toe straps for a secure, customisable fit
- Trimmable main strap with a Y hook-tape clamp for a tailored length
- Bilateral, ambidextrous — fits either foot
- Slim enough to wear inside a wide-front shoe
- Suitable as a day or night splint
Intended Use
May assist in managing discomfort associated with the following conditions:
- Bunions (hallux valgus) of the big toe
- Big-toe mal-positioning
- Support following bunion surgery
- Congenital deformities of the big toe
- Arthritis or inflammatory joint conditions of the big toe
How to Use
- The splint is one universal size and can be worn on either foot.
- Release the hook-and-loop fasteners on the mid-foot (large) and toe (small) straps to loosen them.
- Slide the splint onto the foot so the hinge sits directly over the big-toe joint.
- Hold both ends of the large strap and the splint, draw the strap ends together and fasten — one tab to the lower side, one to the upper.
- Tighten the toe strap in the same way.
- Place the ball-joint pad on the underside of the foot, under the large strap, so its edge does not extend past the centre of the hinge; use it whenever walking (unless special insoles are worn).
- Build up wear time gradually, and use as directed by your healthcare professional.

Important Cautions
- Use under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

- Ensure there is no constriction; avoid ill-fitting or pointed shoes and choose wide-front, slightly oversized footwear.
- Do not wear while swimming or at the beach.
