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.
