Herbst Nylon Cradle Ankle Foot Orthoses - Adjustable Heel Protector with Anti-Rotation Bar (Large)

Premium Ankle Foot Orthoses for Pressure Relief and Lower Extremity Support

The Herbst Nylon Cradle Ankle Foot Orthoses delivers exceptional therapeutic comfort and clinical-grade relief for patients experiencing pressure injuries, heel ulcerations, bed linen abrasions, lower extremity rotation complications, and plantar flexion contractures. Engineered with advanced pressure-redistribution technology, this orthotic device is specifically designed to completely eliminate pressure on the heel and malleoli, promoting faster healing and preventing further tissue damage.

Advanced Pressure Relief Technology

This medical-grade ankle foot orthosis features a strategically engineered filling system that creates a soft, anatomically contoured pressure-relieving cradle. The innovative design suspends the heel in a protective environment, redistributing weight away from vulnerable pressure points while maintaining proper foot positioning. The cushioned cradle construction provides continuous comfort during extended wear periods, making it ideal for both acute care settings and long-term rehabilitation protocols.

Adjustable Anti-Rotation Control System

The integrated adjustable anti-rotation bar provides precise control over hip and leg rotation, delivering enhanced stability and proper anatomical alignment. This feature is particularly beneficial for patients recovering from surgery, managing neurological conditions, or requiring positional support during bed rest. The anti-rotation mechanism can be customized to individual patient needs, ensuring optimal therapeutic outcomes while preventing unwanted movement that could compromise healing.

Secure, Customizable Fit

Premium hook-and-loop closure straps allow for quick, tool-free adjustments, ensuring a secure and personalized fit for each patient. The closures accommodate fluctuations in edema and allow caregivers to easily modify tension throughout the day. The adjustable design ensures the orthosis remains properly positioned during patient movement, transfers, and repositioning.
