Additional Info
BENEFITS
- Protects Healing Areas: Shields casts, sutures, and dressings from bumps, dirt, and moisture, lowering contamination risk.
- Comfortable Ambulation: Foam cushioning and a stable outsole let patients walk with less pain and more confidence.
- Adjustable Support: Customizable strap tension provides secure immobilization without undue pressure on the injury.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for postoperative care, fractures, sprains, immobilization periods, and transitional rehab stages.
USAGE GUIDELINES
- Fitting: Sit and place the injured foot into the boot so the heel rests fully against the back. Fasten the lowest strap first, then secure the mid and top straps to achieve an even, snug fit, not overly tight.
- Strap Adjustment: Re-check strap tension after standing or a few steps, and straps may settle and need light readjustment to maintain support without cutting off circulation.
- Walking Advice: Begin walking slowly and use assistive devices (crutches, walker) as your clinician recommends. Take short, cautious steps on uneven or wet surfaces.
- Cast & Dressing Compatibility: The wide opening and adjustable straps allow wearing over most casts, and bulky dressings confirm comfort and circulation after fitting.
- Monitoring: Regularly inspect the skin around the injury for increased swelling, numbness, discoloration, or pain. Loosen straps and consult your provider if these occur.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the vinyl exterior and inner surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Remove visible dirt and dry thoroughly.
- Disinfection: For clinical use, use an approved disinfectant wipe compatible with vinyl, follow product directions, and allow to air dry.
- Drying: Air-dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources (no radiators, hair dryers, or direct sun) to avoid warping or material degradation.
- Do Not Machine Wash: Avoid soaking, machine washing, tumble drying, or dry cleaning as these damage straps, foam, and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sharp objects. Do not stack heavy items on top of the boot, which may deform the sole or frame.
