MTP Reliefs 1-5
Localized pockets recessed under any of the metatarsophalangeal joints to offload a specific painful MTP.
How it works
MTP reliefs are recessed pockets in the shell under one or more metatarsophalangeal joints. Instead of pushing back on a painful joint, the shell steps away from it. Pressure drops locally while the surrounding surface keeps carrying load.
Reliefs can be prescribed for any combination of joints one through five, each with its own depth, so complex forefeet (one hot joint, two tender neighbors) get exactly the pressure map they need.
When to prescribe it
- Plantar plate tears and MTP capsulitis
- IPKs and discrete plantar callosities
- Offloading pre-ulcerative lesions in at-risk feet
- Painful sesamoids, via a first-MTP relief
- Post-injection or post-op joints needing temporary offload
How we build it
Each relief is a smooth-walled recess shaped to the lesion and placed on the scan; depth is millimeter-exact per joint. Combine freely with pads and bars; the geometry merges into a single clean surface.
