Description

The Relief Insert® Walker 2.0 offers a sustainable therapy concept with high wearing comfort. The walker can be used as a comfortable positioning splint by removing the high sectoral off-loading shoe Relief Dual® Plus. In addition, the walker offers many individual customisation options. The width of the Splinting System automatically adjusts to the circumference of the patient’s calf. If necessary, the adjuster can be unhooked if the calves are particularly wide. With the pump and valve on the side, the volume of the air chambers can be increased or decreased, thus additionally stabilising the ankle.The blue lining elements (calf liner, front liner and forefoot strap) can be removed from the splint and machine-washed at 60°C.

DAW (DARCO Achilles Wedges) heel wedges
The DAW heel wedge set consists of 3 wedges in different lengths. A wedge has a height of approx. 11 mm. 3 wedges are equivalent to approx. 120° slant. The wedges are placed on top of each other according to the foot length and the desired angle of plantar flexion and fixed to the heel area of the walker using adhesive dots.

Testimonials

Kai Strecker Master Orthopaedic Shoemaker and Head of Department Technical Orthopaedics, O.R.T. Göttingen, Germany

„To ensure optimal surgical results, we use the Relief Insert® Walker 2.0 (without shoe) for positioning immediately after the operation. If the patient can be mobilised, it is only necessary to put on the sectoral off-loading shoe. The calf section adjusts itself to the patient’s circumference during closure. The walker fits perfectly and thus prevents rotational movements in the ankle joint. This is a great advantage especially for care in hospitals and home visits, because no additional tools are necessary.“
