Post-Operative Shoe

Post-operative shoes are a type of footwear specifically designed to be worn after surgical procedures on the foot or lower extremities. They are part of the supply class "Hospital And Surgical Clothing And Related Special Purpose Items" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."

Post-operative shoes are typically made of lightweight and breathable materials such as canvas or mesh. They are designed to provide protection, support, and comfort to the foot during the healing process after surgery. These shoes often have adjustable straps or closures to ensure a secure fit and accommodate swelling or bandages.

The main purpose of post-operative shoes is to promote proper healing and prevent complications such as infection, pressure sores, or excessive movement that could disrupt the surgical site. They are commonly used after procedures such as foot or ankle surgeries, bunionectomies, toe surgeries, or other interventions that require immobilization or protection of the foot.

Post-operative shoes are available in various sizes and styles to accommodate different foot shapes and surgical needs. They are typically recommended by healthcare professionals and can be purchased from medical supply stores or online retailers.
