What is it?

Comprises a thermoplastic shell which encompasses the posterior (back) third of the leg and extends from the top calf to the underside of the foot. The shell has an exaggerated heel shape to ensure that there is no contact with the foot in this area. The calf and foot sections are covered in a mock fleece material and are secured with velcro. The foot section has additional padding and, depending on the type, may have a walking sole.


What does it do?

It is designed specifically to off-load the back/underside of the heel and prevent pressure sores or encourage healing where sores have developed. When used at night a bar can be deployed to prevent the foot turning outwards.


What does it cost?

£60.00 – £250.00
