Achilles Tendon Rupture Splint

WHAT IT TREATS: Specifically designed for Achilles tendon rupture (complete tear). Holds the foot plantarflexed at 155 degrees for optimal healing. NOT suitable for Achilles Tendinitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciitis, or broken bones. WHY YOU NEED IT: Provides a more comfortable recovery from a torn Achilles tendon. Allows you to rest safely without your orthopaedic boot while keeping your foot in the necessary plantarflexed (tip-toes) position for healing, day and night. WHEN TO USE: Use instead of your orthopaedic boot only when resting (sitting or lying down). Not for walking or standing without crutches. If you had surgery, wait two weeks for wound healing and consult your surgeon before use. KEY FEATURES: Non-slip elastic straps with silicone for comfort and security. Secure booster strap around the ankle with zero-flex webbing prevents upward foot bending (dorsiflexion). Innovative elastic heel strap ensures security without touching the injured Achilles. UNIQUE DESIGN: Patented, lightweight, purpose-made device designed and manufactured in the UK by Achilles splint specialists, Thetis Medical. Developed with specialist Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Clinician approved. The only dedicated lightweight splint for resting during Achilles rupture recovery.
