The DeRoyal Ankle Contracture Boot is a clinical-grade static ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) engineered for precise positioning and superior pressure reduction. Designed specifically for patients at risk of skin breakdown or those managing foot drop, this boot features a unique frame that completely suspends the heel. By allowing the heel to "float" in open space, the boot eliminates all contact with bed surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of debilitating pressure ulcers. Available in cool Vel-Foam (most popular) or Fleece (gray) liner material.
