Overview
The EPITACT bunion protector aims to prevent and relieve painful conflicts between the shoe and the bunion while walking.
Sometimes, bunions are so painful that wearing shoes can turn very uncomfortable, even if the bump is small or barely noticeable. When walking, the bunion suffers repeated pressure and rubbing against the shoe, which can cause a lot of discomfort. In some advanced deformities, the forefoot has a triangular shape which makes wearing shoes as difficult as painful.
In those cases, inserting a special protection between your shoe and your bunion can help relieve pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We're here to help
Can the Epitact Bunion Protector be worn with shoes?
Yes, the Epitact Bunion Protector is designed to be slim and discreet, making it suitable for use inside most types of footwear. It’s ideal for those looking for pain relief during daily activities without compromising comfort or shoe choice.
Is the Epitact Bunion Protector reusable and washable?
The Epitact Bunion Protector is washable and reusable, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for managing bunion pain. Wash in a machine at 30°C / 86°F or by hand with soap and water (without rubbing) and leave to dry naturally. Do not iron. This is reusable for several months.
Can I use the Epitact Bunion Protector after bunion surgery?
You should consult your healthcare provider before using the Epitact Bunion Protector post-surgery. However, many patients find it useful during recovery to reduce pressure on the area and aid comfort during rehabilitation.
Does the Epitact Bunion Protector help prevent bunion progression?
While the Epitact Bunion Protector doesn’t correct the bunion itself, it may help prevent worsening by reducing friction, pressure, and inflammation. This makes it a supportive aid for long-term bunion management.
Can I wear the Epitact Bunion Protector all day?
Yes, the Epitact Bunion Protector is made with medical-grade silicone gel, designed for prolonged use throughout the day. However, it’s best to monitor for any skin irritation and allow time for your feet to breathe.
How does the Epitact Bunion Protector compare to toe spacers?
The Epitact Bunion Protector is different from toe spacers. It cushions and protects the bunion joint, while toe spacers aim to realign toes. Some users may benefit from combining both depending on their condition.
How do I store Epitact Bunion Protector?
This product does not require any other special storage conditions. Additionally, you should not use after the expiry date shown on the pack.
How do I dispose of Epitact Bunion Protector?
Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to throw away medicines you no longer use. These measures will help protect the environment
Can I buy Epitact Bunion Protector online?
Yes! It is possible to buy Epitact Bunion Protector online from trusted online pharmacies, such as e-Surgery!
However, before purchasing any medication from online pharmacies, it’s good practice to check the GPhC register and see if the pharmacy is registered. This not only ensures that it is operating legally, but it also makes sure that any medication you buy online is genuine.

Directions
In order to use the Epitact Bunion Protector:
- The protector should be worn directly on the skin, on either the left or right foot.
- Slip your foot into the protection pad, ensuring your great toe is placed in the tubular section.
- The Epithelium 26® gel module should be positioned over the bunion for optimal relief.
- To maintain the protector’s position, wear socks, stockings, or tights over it.
Side Effects
You may get slight discomfort if not worn properly and the protector may begin to smell or change colour if not cleaned regularly and properly.
How it works
The patented bunion protector is made of:
- a flexible and elastic fabric that allows the protection to stay well in place throughout the day. This fabric is also extremely comfortable thanks to its softness and thin and flat seams that do not create skin sensitivity.
- an ultra-thin silicone gel pad that does not add further pressure in the shoe and reduces pressure and friction on the bunion. Indeed, thinness is a core feature of a good bunion protector. Too thick, it would increase pressure inside the shoe and aggravate the deformity or have consequences for other parts of the foot.
