SURGICAL SHOES. 385 



STAMPED CART HIND SHOE (SURGICAL), WITH 

 ARRANGEMENT FOR DRESSING FOOT (Figs. 

 361, 362). 



Made from ^\x-^ i'^^ch iron. 



This shoe has a plate attached at the heels by a hinge, and 

 at the toe by a screw. As shown in the following illustration 

 the plate folds back, giving free access to the sole for the pur- 

 pose of inserting dressings. The shoe is complicated and can 

 only be made by a good workman, but in cases where a great 

 deal of pressure on the sole is required it is of real value. 

 Otherwise it can advantageously be replaced by the shoe with 

 sliding plate.
