Variteks-862 Derotation Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO)

The Variteks-862 derotation ankle foot orthosis (AFO), also known as a derotation boot, is a high-quality medical device designed for the rehabilitation of patients with lower extremity injuries and conditions. This robust orthosis offers reliable immobilization and effective correction of both internal and external rotation of the ankle and foot. Constructed from durable, high-strength plastic, it’s suitable for use on either the left or right leg.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Superior Immobilization: Provides strong support and stability to the ankle and foot, preventing unwanted movement and promoting proper healing.
• Derotation Control: Effectively corrects internal and external rotation, crucial for various conditions requiring precise alignment.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-impact, lightweight plastic for long-lasting performance and comfort.
• Ambidextrous Design: Suitable for use on both left and right legs.
• Three Sizes Available: Choose from Small (shoe size 36-38), Medium (shoe size 39-41), and Large (shoe size 42-44). Note: The orthosis doesn’t always fully cover the foot; 2/3 coverage is sufficient for effective treatment.
