OPED VACOped Vacuum Orthosis Boot Analysis Report

Device Identification

The examined images belong to a medical walking boot used for lower extremity immobilization, featuring a rigid outer shell and an adjustable angle mechanism. The device, commonly known as a “cast shoe” or “orthopedic walking boot,” is technically a vacuum orthosis system. One textile cover (liner) is included.

Brand and Model

From the logo on the front panel in Image 3, the product’s brand has been clearly identified as VACOped. The product’s design language, turquoise adjustment mechanisms, and structural features confirm that this model is the standard VACOped Vacuum Orthosis manufactured by OPED. The angle adjustment mechanism at the back of the device and its general shell structure perfectly match the model’s identity.

Authenticity

The molding details on the product, logo print quality, workmanship on the plastic parts, and brand-specific turquoise color coding (adjustment buttons and logo) bear the characteristics of an original product. No casting defects or logo inconsistencies that would raise doubts about its authenticity are observed.

Areas of Use

This device is used for stabilizing the region and controlling load in foot and ankle injuries (Achilles tendon rupture, ankle fractures) or during the post-operative period. It provides rigid immobilization thanks to its inner cushion, which takes shape by vacuuming air out rather than inflating it. The adjustable sole angle allows for gradual movement during the rehabilitation process.

Quantity Information

• 1 VACOped Orthosis Frame (with integrated vacuum cushion and attached cover)
• 1 Spare Textile Cover (Liner)

Size and Compatibility

In Image 2, the word Medium is located on the plastic locking mechanism at the rear heel section of the device. This indicates that the device is a “Medium” size and is suitable for adult patients within the corresponding shoe size range (typically between sizes 39-43).

Overall Condition

The product is in used (second-hand) condition. The general structural integrity of the device has been preserved, but signs of use are present. It is not sterile or in new packaging. Its condition is moderate, and it may require cleaning and maintenance.

Physical Deformation

Slight superficial scratches due to use can be observed on the plastic outer shell. However, no deep cracks, breaks, or detachments that would compromise the skeletal structure have been detected. The grey plastic surfaces generally retain their matte finish. Folding marks and slight pilling are present on the textile covers (especially on the spare part next to it).

Mechanical Components

The turquoise locking latches and the angle adjustment mechanism (ROM adjustment) at the rear, visible in Images 1 and 2, appear to be in place and intact. No missing parts or deformation have been visually detected in the rear sliding mechanism that adjusts the foot’s inclination. The strap buckles (grey plastic parts) are intact.

Accessories and Missing Item Analysis

The “vacuum pump” (typically a hand pump included with this set), which is critical for the device’s operation, is not visible in the images. Only the orthosis itself and the spare cover are present. If the vacuum cushion is deflated or needs inflation, an external pump may be required. The velcro (hook-and-loop) straps on the device are present and attached.

Label Information

The data readable from the image are:

• Brand Logo: VACOped
• Size Information: Medium

Screen Analysis

This device does not have an electronic or digital screen. Manual mechanical adjustment indicators (angle degrees) are present at the rear, but the images do not provide close-up views sufficient to read the detailed angle values.

Sole and Usage Duration Indicators

Upon examination from the rear and bottom angles in Image 2, dark colored stains and scuff marks are visible on the white sole part of the device. The dirt between the sole patterns indicates that the device has been used by stepping on the ground (with walking support) for some time. This dirt is cleanable, but it is the clearest visual evidence of use.

Potential Failure Risk

As the device has a mechanical structure, there is no risk of electronic failure. Since no critical structural damage (hinge breakage, strap detachment) is apparent in the images, no immediate failure risk is foreseen. The only point requiring attention is the sealing condition of the vacuum cushion; visual analysis cannot determine whether the vacuum cushion holds air (i.e., whether it is punctured).
