Description
Advanced Heel Protection & Foot Alignment System
The Pressure Relief AFO is designed to completely suspend the heel and eliminate pressure and friction, helping prevent and manage pressure injuries. It also maintains functional alignment of the foot and ankle, which is critical for recovery and long-term mobility.
This makes it an essential device in clinical care, aged care, and home recovery settings.
