Bort Medical Peroneal Splint (Foot Drop Brace) – Size XL, Right

Description:

The Bort Medical Peroneal Splint (also known as a foot drop brace or ankle-foot orthosis) provides superior support and helps elevate the foot during the swing phase of walking. This lightweight, full-length sole splint features a Velcro closure for a customizable fit around the calf, making it ideal for individuals experiencing foot drop due to peroneal nerve palsy, stroke, or other conditions affecting lower limb mobility.

Designed to correct foot drop and prevent equinus deformity (a plantarflexed foot), this functional brace allows for controlled dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, promoting a more natural gait. Unlike bulky alternatives, the Bort Peroneal Splint is designed to be worn comfortably inside closed-toe shoes, minimizing its impact on daily activities. It conserves energy and improves safety during ambulation, helping patients maintain a higher quality of life.
