Bledsoe EZ Set Progait Boot
Bledsoe
This is the boot with the hinge that is quickest to fit
- Hinge is simple and safe to adjust with regard to dorsi flexion and plantar flexion.
- Low profile, which prevents pain in the hip.
- ‘Rocker bottom’ design with 4 phases which equals the natural way of walking: heelstrike – straight – roll-off and toe-off.
- Finish with opening at the level of the heel for perfect positioning of the lower leg.
- Manufactured from high-quality aluminium for ideal immobilisation.
- Aerating foam around the lower leg avoids perspiration: unique to Bledsoe.
- Walking sole is optimal width: the patient can walk in a stable manner, it is impossible for the knee to go into valgus so that there can be no pain at the condylen level.
- Option: ‘air bladder’ for extra fixation of the malleoli, plastic tibia and calf plate.
