28F10 heel relief orthosis
| Reference number | 28F10 |
Mobile despite calcaneal fracture
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.

Step rubber
The step rubber dampens the heel strike.
Forefoot cap
The structure of the forefoot cap is similar to that of a shoe. A virtually physiological gait pattern is possible thanks to the flexible sole in the forefoot region.
Heel container
The heel container, which is thermoformable, can be customised to the patient’s calf.
