Where can I buy the Hallufix®
Hallux valgus Splint?
Our product is sold worldwide in medical supply shops, orthopaedic shops and pharmacies or directly in our Hallufix online shop. Hallufix® ships all its products worldwide.
And what if I prefer to buy from Amazon or Ebay & Co.
There are online suppliers, who advertise with the name Hallufix® or state Hallufix® as the manufacturer and sometimes even use picture material of Hallufix®.
However, these are often cheap copies without any use or function. Therefore, when buying online, make sure that the seller guarantees that the item is a Hallufix® original. If the Hallufix® logo is not embossed on the Splint and/or Hallufix® is not named as the manufacturer on the packaging, return the item.
Together with Amazon and Ebay, we take action against the sellers of these replicas and regularly have their shops deleted.
Will I receive an original Hallufix® Hallux valgus Splint there?
A clear no, if it is not the Hallufix® website or a website of our partners in the medical supply trade with their own webshop.
Before placing your order, please check who is behind the respective website and can you identify the manufacturer from the legally required imprint.
