The Bledsoe Conformer boot replaces total contact casting for the treatment of ulcerative or pre-ulcerative conditions of the bottom of the foot. Bledsoe Conformer Diabetic Boot is also indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plantar fasciitis or other foot conditions that would benefit from a more even distribution of body weight on the sole of the foot.
This device is not recommended where severe foot deformities cause the shape of the foot not to fit within the confines of a boot shell that is up to one size larger than the proper size shown on the Ordering Information chart.
