28F10 heel relief orthosis
Reference number | 28F10 |
Allowing wearers who have suffered a calcaneal fracture to walk again as quickly as possible – that is the goal of the heel relief orthosis.
- The orthosis relieves the calcaneus by bracing the longitudinal arch and supporting the calf (“floating heel”).
- Even in cases of bilateral calcaneal fractures, patients can walk nearly normally soon after the accident or surgery.
- The neuromuscular structures and the calcareous salt content of the bone are influenced in a positive manner. This prevents damage due to immobilisation.
- The muscle pump acts as a thrombosis prophylaxis. Thanks to additional compression pads, the load can be increased gradually.
- Treatment time and costs may be lowered. This was demonstrated in a study by the Wuppertal construction employers’ liability insurance association.
