ACHILLES BOOT

The Bledsoe Achilles Boot saves time by eliminating casting series required to stretch the achilles tendon during rehabilitation.

Feature

  Aluminum boot shell and upright system that, unlike plastic boots, can be reformed to fit virtually any leg or ankle shape

  Four cast inter-locking 10° urethane wedges provide fast change of foot angle (see left)

  Contains three layers of pads that contour to the ankle shape and support the ankle for total control

  Unique rocker design allows patients to closely simulate a near normal gait without abnormal loads on any joints

Indication

This device is indicated for application following injury to or reconstruction of the achilles tendon.

Contraindication

This device is contraindicated for unstable fractures and proximal tibial or fibular fractures.
