VACOped Adjustable Vacuum Orthopedic Walking Boot Analysis Report

Device Identification

The product examined in the visuals is a professional medical orthopedic boot with a rigid outer shell and a soft inner liner, used for foot and ankle immobilization (stabilization). The product is also known in literature as “Cam Walker”, “Achilles Boot”, or “Vacuum Walking Orthosis”. It is shown with a spare inner liner.

Brand and Model

During a detailed examination of the product, the following brand and model information was identified:

• Brand/Model: The VACOped logo is clearly visible on the turquoise-colored plate on the front of the product. The product design and characteristic colors (grey body, turquoise locking mechanisms) confirm this identification.

Quantity Information

The set in the visuals consists of the following parts:

• 1 unit of VACOped outer exoskeleton body (with its inner liner already installed).
• 1 unit of spare inner liner sleeve (laid out next to the body).

In total, there is 1 main unit and 1 spare textile product.

Size and Compatibility

Upon examination of the vertical support strut (spine) on the back of the device, the embossed inscription “Medium” was detected within the mechanism. Based on this information, it is understood that the product is suitable for an adult foot of medium size.

General Condition and State

The general condition of the product is used but in solid condition. Physical and mechanical details are described below:

Physical Deformations

• Outer Casing: On the grey plastic outer exoskeleton, no cracks, breaks, or serious damage compromising its integrity are observed, apart from minor superficial friction marks due to use.
• Sole: The bottom sole of the boot is dirty and appears to have been in contact with the ground; this indicates that the product has been previously used. No excessive melting or tearing was observed in the sole rubber.
• Textile Parts: Both the inner liner of the boot and the spare liner next to it show color changes (slight soiling or yellowing tones) and slight pilling in the fabric texture due to use. However, no tears or unraveling are visible.

Mechanical Components

The condition of the mechanical parts has been analyzed from the visual as follows:

• Straps and Buckles: The black velcro straps on the front appear to be in place and intact. There are no breaks in the plastic buckles.
• Adjustment Mechanism: The metal and plastic mechanism located at the back of the boot, used to adjust the ankle angle, appears complete. The turquoise-colored adjustment pins/buttons are in place.
• Vacuum Valve: In the 3rd visual, the white colored valve tip of the vacuum cushion (a small tube protruding from the inner liner) installed inside the boot is visible. The presence of this part indicates that the system retains its vacuum feature, but its air retention capacity cannot be tested from the visual.

Areas of Use

VACOped is an advanced orthosis primarily used for lower extremity injuries. Common areas of use include:

• Conservative or operative treatment after Achilles tendon rupture.
• Stable foot and ankle fractures.
• Ligament injuries and severe sprains.
• Rehabilitation after surgical operations such as ankle arthrodesis.
• Thanks to its vacuum structure, it adapts to swelling (edema) to provide complete stabilization.

Potential Malfunction Risk

No obvious breaks or missing parts that would prevent the product from being used are observed. The only potential points of attention are the adhesion strength of the velcro straps and whether the vacuum cushion leaks air, as it is a used product (this cannot be confirmed from the visual, but the valve cap is seen to be in place). Mechanically, it appears ready for use.

Originality Assessment

Considering the font of the logo on the product, the “Medium” size label, the unique turquoise locking mechanisms, the patented vacuum system valve, and the material quality, the product is assessed to be 100% original VACOped production.
