Our innovative product, ProtecTozzâ„¢, is the first safety equipment of its kind for position football players wearing removable cleats. Â ProtecTozz provides safety in both games and practice to the toe-box of the cleated athlete thus preventing crush injuries. Â Crush injuries include subungual hematoma (blood clot under the toenail), ingrown nail (infected/chronic), dystrophic nail (fungus from trauma/brittle nail), toe fracture/dislocation/sprain, tendon injury, cartilage damage to the great toe, and other related injuries. Â ProtecTozz can also be used to treat an injured player providing protection against re-injury thereby allowing an earlier return to competition and practice.
ProtecTozz provides a safe and secure means of protecting a player’s foot from injury without compromising performance. Â With minimal exterior prominence, this device does not impede athletic performance (running, cutting, set position, etc.). This allows the player to concentrate on maximal on-field performance without being fearful of another player stepping on the end of his unprotected cleat. Â Crush injuries to the foot are common particularly amongst offensive and defensive lineman, tight-ends and quarterbacks.
