Achilles Tendon Rupture

 

INTENDED USE

Night-time splint to ensure the foot is kept in plantar flexion (foot pointed down) for the first 3 months after an Achilles tendon tear. 

 Testimonial: Simply brilliant - and brilliantly simple


PROBLEM

Currently, patients wear a large, outdoor, orthopaedic boot, day and night, for the 10 week rehabilitation. Patients find these boots:

  • Hot
  • Dirty
  • Uncomfortable
  • Heavy

FAQs

What angle is the splint set at?

The splint is set at 30 degrees

Is the sizing accurate?
Yes, the sizing is accurate. Sizing is based on foot size, designed to ensure that the splint does not interfere with the toes.
 
Can you use the splint instead of a boot?
Yes, it is designed as an alternative - but ONLY for use when resting. You cannot walk or stand in the splint without crutches.
 
Can you use the splint for Achilles tendonitis?
No, the splint is only used after rupture of the Achilles tendon. It is not suitable for broken bones, plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. The splint holds the foot pointed downwards, in a tiptoe position, for tendon healing. For other conditions, like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, there are different splints deliberately designed to do the opposite, and hold the foot up.
