The DARCO APB embodies nearly perfect four season postoperative protection with a closed-toe design that keeps dressings and toes warm and dry. The boot is designed to provide unparalleled versatility by accommodating both bulky dressings and most fibreglass casts.
 
The A.P.B.® (All Purpose Boot) is a closed toe boot used for the treatment of the diabetic and insensitive foot or as a post-operative boot and is available in either a flat or rocker sole version. Both versions are bi-lateral but have slightly different closure techniques.
 
The flat version has a fixed dorsal flap with a left to right hook and loop closure. The rocker version uses the strapless fastening system (i.e. as with the OrthoWedge) which can be completely removed and rotated to provide a left or right overlap thus giving a truly universal appearance.
