Orliman Wedges For Walkers - Wedge For Achilles Tendon

During treatment with a Walker (ankle orthesis), and if the patient requires Achilles tendon repair, it is necessary to adjust the brace so that the foot is approximately at 20° of plantar flexion. As plantar reduction is progressive, a set of ergonomically-designed wedges are needed to reduce plantar flexion from 22° to 0° at intervals of 22°, 16°, 10° and 0°. To facilitate this, Orliman has designed a set of three 2-cm wedges and a heel cup that are joined together by removable adhesive, enabling easy assembly and separation.
