Short Description
Bledsoe's Lo-Top Boot features a rocker bottom sole and a moldable aluminum boot shell to fit every patient; available in a fixed strut or with EZ Set hinge.
The Bledsoe Lo-Top Boot is designed to be a flexible and attractive alternative to casting lower leg and foot injuries. It's a very popular model used for treating injuries from mid-tibia or fibula down to the mid-forefoot region including second and third degree ankle sprains. It comes with a foam liner that is available in two lengths to suit every patient's comfort needs. The Bledsoe Lo-Top Boot is also available as a fixed strut design or with an EZ Set hinge for adjusting the range of motion at the ankle joint from 20 degrees of dorsi-flexion to 40 degrees of plantar-flexion in 10 degree increments. The low rocker bottom sole reduces hip hiking while walking and provides a more comfortable solution than competitor's models. To enhances comfort an optional heel/ankle air bladder can be ordered which improves comfort by taking up the extra space around the ankle/heel area for an amazing fit. The product can be ordered with two styles of foam liners: 1) a bootie which extends down to the ends of your toes and 2) a cuff liner which stops around the middle of your forefoot. Finally, the product features aluminum struts than can be bent and molded to patients with wider calves without snapping like less expensive varieties with plastic uprights. The aluminum frame and side struts is a defining feature that separates this product from all of the other models out in the marketplace. For a model that's designed to provide a higher quality fit and features higher quality materials, the Bledsoe Lo-Top Boot comes highly recommended.
