Description:

The Freika Kreit B-801 #22 Infant Hip Abduction Orthosis provides comfortable and effective support for newborns and infants with hip dysplasia or developmental hip dislocation. This 22cm orthosis gently maintains the hips in a flexed and abducted position (approximately 90 degrees), promoting healthy hip joint development.
