Product Overview
- Helps prevent footdrop contracture by supporting the foot in correct functional alignment
- Protects against development of heel pressure sores
- Alternate between the supine and side-lying position in bed
AliMed® Footdrop Night Splint™ Prevents heel cord and Achilles tendon shortening when a patient is subject to prolonged bed rest.
Heel Protection
- Protects the heel while maintaining the ankle in functional alignment. Entire heel is in contact with a soft, cushioning AliPlast™ foam liner. The cushioning air space between shell and liner cradles the heel in a protective hammock, reducing ulceration risk.
Mobility
- The patient can change position freely in bed from side-lying to supine. Only the ankle is immobilized, leaving the hip joint free to rotate and flex.
Prefitted
- Fits up to 80% of patients without modification. Accommodates patients with significant edema, larger calves and malleoli. Shell and liner can be washed and disinfected.
Positioning and Rehabilitation
- AliMed's Footdrop Night Splint preserves the natural functional alignment of foot and ankle.
The foot plate is set at an angle of slightly less than 90°, the middle of the range of motion required for normal gait.
Suggested code: L4398.
