Model:

The Bledsoe Short Term/ST and ST2 Boots are low-cost, lightweight walkers for short term applications. They are designed to enhance mobility for sprains, strains, and some types of fractures. The ST2 comes with an ankle/heel pad, and can be ordered with an optional air ankle/heel pad ($15.00 extra). The Bledsoe ST & ST2 Boots can be fitted with EZ Set hinges (optional) that are designed for range of motion from 20 degrees of dorsi-flexion to 40 degrees of plantar-flexion in 10 degree increments.

Features include:

• Lightweight, strong, low profile design
• Aluminum boot shell and upright system that unlike plastic boots, can be reformed to fit virtually any leg or ankle shape
• Ultra-breathable foam wrap for maximum comfort
• ST2 is equipped with ankle/heel pad
• Unique rocker design allows patients to closely simulate a near normal gait without abnormal loads on any joints
• Optional air ankle/heel pad allows for ability to adjust ankle pressure for increased comfort and provides pneumatic ankle support (ST2 only)
• Available in five universal sizes and two heights (regular or mid-calf). Regular height is taller & goes up to just below the knee.

Indications: This device is indicated for metatarsal, forefoot, and calcaneous fractures, forefoot sprains, and grades 1, 2, & 3 distal fractures of the tibia and fibula that are reduced/stable or that have some bridging callous.

This device is contraindicated for unstable fractures or for fractures of the proximal tibia or fibula. The Bledsoe EZ-Set Hinge used on any Bledsoe Walking Boot is contra-indicated for unstable fractures or for fractures of the proximal tibia or fibula and is also contraindicated for use during weight bearing in a plantar flexed position for Achilles tendon injuries or repairs (see Achilles Tendon Boot). When fixed or locked in any degree of plantar flexion, all Bledsoe hinged boots should be used non-weight bearing only.
