Additional Info
BENEFITS
- Maintains Natural Gait: Low profile prevents exaggerated leg length difference, so walking feels more normal and less tiring.
- Reduces Joint Stress: Low-profile design helps decrease compensatory strain on hips and knees associated with taller walkers.
- Customized Comfort: Pressure-moldable insole and padded ventilation liner reduce hotspots and pressure points for extended wear.
- Enhanced Stability: Contoured stirrups and a secure strap system keep the ankle immobilized to protect healing tissue.
- Versatile Clinical Use: Suitable for post-operative care, fractures, sprains, tendon injuries, and routine rehabilitation.
USAGE GUIDELINES
- When to Wear: Use during post-operative recovery, after sprains or fractures, or whenever clinician-recommended immobilization is required.
- Fitting Steps: Place foot on the insole, align contoured stirrups around the ankle, fasten straps snugly from bottom to top, and adjust for comfort without over-tightening.
- Duration: Follow your healthcare provider’s guidance, typically worn during waking hours for several weeks, depending on injury severity.
- Activity Level: Designed for ambulation and light daily activities, and avoid high-impact sports or uneven terrain unless cleared by a clinician.
- Monitoring: Check skin under the liner daily for redness, pressure marks, or irritation and re-adjust straps if needed.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the shell and straps with a damp cloth and mild soap remove debris from the tread to maintain traction.
- Liner Care: Spot-clean the padded liner as needed and allow it to air dry completely before reuse to prevent odor and bacterial growth.
- Avoid Soaking: Do not immerse the boot or liner in water, and excessive moisture can degrade padding and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent warping or material breakdown.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid stacking heavy items on top that could deform the shell.
