Product details
The Ossur Achilles Wedge Kit for Walker Boots is a layered heel-elevation accessory designed for compatible walking boots. Its interlocking high-density foam wedges allow heel height to be adjusted progressively during a clinician-directed Achilles rehabilitation program.
By elevating the heel inside a suitable walker boot, the kit can reduce the amount of stretch placed through the Achilles tendon. Individual layers can then be removed gradually as mobility and rehabilitation progress, according to professional instructions.
Who It's For
- People using a compatible walker boot following Achilles tendon injury
- Customers following conservative or post-operative Achilles rehabilitation
- Clinicians requiring adjustable heel elevation inside a walker
- People transitioning gradually toward a neutral foot position
Who It's Not For
This wedge kit is not a standalone brace and should not be used in ordinary footwear unless specifically approved. It is not suitable for self-directed treatment without confirming walker compatibility and the required elevation with a clinician.
Key Benefits
- Interlocking layers provide gradual heel-height adjustment
- High-density foam offers firm, stable support
- Layers can be removed progressively as rehabilitation advances
- Universal configuration suits compatible walker boots
