Title: Bort Medical Peroneal Splint (Foot Drop Orthosis) – Size S, Left
Description:
The Bort Medical peroneal splint (also known as a foot drop orthosis) provides effective support and helps lift the foot during the swing phase of gait. This lightweight, functional ankle foot orthosis (AFO) features a full-length sole, adjustable Velcro straps for customized calf circumference fitting, and is designed for comfortable wear inside shoes. Ideal for managing foot drop caused by peroneal nerve palsy, stroke, lumbar nerve damage, poliomyelitis, or other conditions resulting in weakened dorsiflexion, this splint prevents foot drop and promotes a more natural walking pattern. Unlike bulky ankle braces, the Bort peroneal splint offers superior mobility and comfort. Its lightweight design minimizes bulk and improves energy efficiency during ambulation, helping patients maintain an active lifestyle. Indications include: peroneal nerve palsy, stroke, lumbar nerve root lesions, poliomyelitis, and foot drop syndrome. Contraindications include: peripheral arterial occlusive disease, lymphatic disorders, unexplained soft tissue swelling, loss of sensation/numbness, and skin conditions. Proper use involves wearing the splint over socks or stockings with closed-toe footwear. Ensure a comfortable fit and regularly inspect the skin for irritation. Made of polypropylene. Size S fits shoe sizes 35-37 (EU). Left foot.
