WALKING BOOTS & ANKLE BRACES
Achilles Boot
Achilles Tendon Injury Walking Boot
Achilles Tendon Walking Boot With Wedges
The Bledsoe Achilles Boot saves time by eliminating casting series required to stretch the achilles tendon during rehab.
Our Hi Top boot with heel wedges places the foot in a plantar-flexed position using wedges in the heel. As the condition improves, wedges are removed, gently stretching the Achilles tendon and relieving tension on the tendon during rehab.
Indications For Brace Use
This device is indicated for immediate application following injury to or reconstruction of the achilles tendon.
