Description

During product development of the Relief Insert® foot-positioning orthosis, the focus was on immediate use for secure and time-saving positioning in the operating theatre as well as on practical and simple upgrading to a mobile version with a post-operative shoe.

The 90° positioning orthosis is for general use in conservative and postoperative therapy of calf, ankle and foot injuries. Three elasticated and freely positionable hook and loop fasteners and a forefoot strap optimally fix the foot in the orthosis. The most convincing aspect is the simple and time-saving handling and the option of upgrading the system in post-operative follow-up treatment. Once the wound dressing has been applied in the operating theatre, the foot positioning orthosis is applied and fixed with elastic webbing straps. Time-consuming plastering or modelling of a splint is a thing of the past and costly operating theatre time is significantly reduced.

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.’
