Bledsoe Brace Systems
Back in 1982, Dr. Craig Pointdexter asked Gary Bledsoe to create a simple, removable hinged post-op knee brace to replace the "hinged casting" method that was the standard protocol. He relished this task (because wearing a heavy plaster cast with hinges was hot, itchy and uncomfortable) and Gary Bledsoe became the creator of the worlds first modern post-op knee brace!
Gary Bledsoe continues to research and develop orthopedic braces and in 2009 he had another major breakthrough - Magnesium Alloy as a lightweight yet incredibly strong knee brace material.
Now teamed up with Greg Nelson, an industry pioneer with over thirty years of orthopedic manufacturing and marketing, Bledsoe remains a leader in orthopedic bracing.
The Bledsoe Wee Walker is a low profile pediatric cam walker designed to offer superior comfort along with unsurpassed support for children. The Wee Walker is available in three sizes to fit the left or right sides for ages 18 months to approximately 9 years of age. It features malleable aluminum uprights that form easily to different contoured legs and washable open-cell foam for comfort and reduced risk of skin irritation. The straps secure to the uprights to properly position the lower leg correctly inside the boot during ambulation. The Bledsoe Wee Walker has a wide rocker bottom sole to stimulate a normal walking motion and promote safe ambulation on wet surfaces. Patients and parents appreciate the Wee Walker boot design, as well as, the comfort and support it provides children for proper healing of foot and ankle injuries.

Wee Walker Helped My Child Review by Brenda Malloy
Product
My daughter sprained her ankle while on the play yard at school. The Wee Walker was easy to put on and gave her support and protection so she could go back to school. The sizing chart was accurate - it didn't run too big or too small in other words.
Speedy Recovery Review by Kent Blaylock
Product
My four year old little boy had his left foot casted, but his Podiatrist said that we could transition him in to the Bledsoe wee walker. So we ordered it online for the little guy (Express shipping) and we received it right on time for the next Doctors appointment. The doctor applied the wee walker to my sons' foot, which was a great fit. The great features about this boot is that it's lightweight, "kid proof" and the inner boot lining is washable, and also very comforting for my boy. Now the little guy can have a speedy recovery with confidence.
