Metatarsal Domes

Metatarsal Dome is commonly manufactured from PPT of varying density/hardness and is designed to conform to the contour of the transverse arch. They are commonly used in the treatment of Morton’s neuroma, metatarsalgia and other conditions in which redistribution of plantar pressures at the forefoot is deemed appropriate.

Metatarsal Dome style should first be selected from the drop down list.

A modification option may also be selected. These additional modifications are performed manually in a laboratory environment.
