OrthoICU AFO
Description
The OrthoICU AFO is an economical solution to preventing both plantar flexion contractures and heel pressure and potential ulceration for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The splint design incorporates a void underneath the posterior aspect of the heel so there is minimal pressure underneath. The plantar/dorsi-flexion angle can be easily adjusted with the finger unlocking screw mechanisms, and the terry towelling liner can be removed and washed when necessary.
