The S-size Derotation Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) provides superior support and stability for the ankle, foot, and lower leg. This lightweight, yet robust, orthosis is constructed from durable plastic and features a removable, soft inner lining to ensure patient comfort and prevent pressure sores, particularly beneficial for prolonged wear. Secure Velcro straps allow for easy application and customized adjustment.

Key Features

• Anatomical Design: Contoured to comfortably fit the lower leg’s natural shape.
• Adjustable Restraint Bar: A folding restraint bar, secured with a screw or rivet, allows for controlled range of motion and enhanced mobility.
• Adjustable Plantar Flexion: A wedge insert is included to modify the angle of foot flexion, catering to individual needs.
• Ambidextrous Design: Suitable for use on both the left and right legs.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality plastic, neoprene, rubber, and metal components for long-lasting performance.
