Problem

Currently, patients wear a large, outdoor, orthopaedic boot, day and night, for the 10 week rehabillitation. This is analagous to wearing hiking boots for 10 weeks, and sleeping in them...

Patients find these boots:

Hot

Dirty

Uncomfortable

Heavy

Statistics

78% of patients found sleeping in the boot difficult and would therefore benefit from our night splint.

FAQs

Can you use the splint for Achilles tendonitis?

No, the splint is only used after rupture of the Achilles tendon. It is not suitable for broken bones, plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. The splint holds the foot pointed downwards, in a tip toe position, for tendon healing. For other conditions, like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, there are different splints deliberately designed to do the opposite, and hold the foot up.

Can you use the splint instead of a boot?

Yes, it is designed as an alternative - but ONLY for use when resting. You cannot walk or stand in the splint without crutches.

Is the sizing accurate?

Yes, the sizing is accurate. Sizing is based on foot size, designed to ensure that the splint does not interfere with the toes.
