Short Description
DeRoyal Pediatric Ankle Contracture Boot provides proper foot/ankle positioning for contractures. Vel-Foam liner provides breathability. Toe pad extension prevents bed sheet irritation. Rubber sole for improved transfer safety.
The DeRoyal Pediatric Ankle Contracture Boot is designed to provide comfort and support for treating foot and ankle contractures, drop foot, foot ankle spasticity, and wounds. The static AFO design gently places your foot into a neutral or dorsi-flexed position, and can help alleviate pressure on the heel. It features a soft Vel-foam liner for skin comfort and a padded toe piece that can be extended further past the toes to prevent sheets from pushing down on top and thus cause irritation. At bedside its detachable boot sole comes in handy to add an extra measure of safety when working on transfers or bed mobility. The DeRoyal Pediatric Ankle Contracture Boot is favorite with hospitals for its universal size and ability to be used on both the right and left sides. The product can be used to position the foot with ankle contractures, conditions resulting in drop foot, and to relieve heel pressure while in bed.
