Short Description
Stop the "first step" morning pain. The Ovation Medical Hybrid Night Splint is a patented breakthrough in plantar fasciitis treatment, combining the low-profile feel of a dorsal splint with the clinical effectiveness of a posterior boot. Featuring a unique articulating hinge and a 40% wider footbed, it eliminates toe binding and allows for a customizable, progressive stretch that you can actually sleep in.
The "Best of Both Worlds" Solution for Heel Pain
Traditional night splints often fail because they are either too bulky to sleep in (Posterior) or they slip and pinch the toes (Dorsal). The Ovation Medical Hybrid Night Splint solves both problems. Its patented design bridges the gap, offering a structured, adjustable stretch in a lightweight frame that stays secure all night.
By maintaining a consistent stretch on the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon while you sleep, it prevents the tissue from contracting overnight—effectively eliminating that sharp, stabbing pain when you take your first steps in the morning.
Why the Hybrid Design Outperforms Standard Splints
-
Patented Articulating Hinge: Unlike static braces, our hybrid design uses a mechanical hinge. This allows you to set the exact angle of dorsiflexion, making it the only splint that "grows" with you as your flexibility improves.
-
Progressive Recovery Tracking: The built-in Stretch Position Indicator window allows you to see your exact setting. Start at a gentle angle (less than 90°) for severe pain and gradually increase the tension as you heal.
-
Zero Toe Binding: We’ve engineered the footbed to be 40% wider than standard dorsal splints. This provides ample room for your toes to remain in a natural position, preventing the cramping often caused by narrower braces.
-
Maximum Patient Compliance: Because it is lighter and better padded than a "boot," users are significantly more likely to wear it the entire night—the key to successful plantar fasciitis recovery.
How to Adjust Your Hybrid Night Splint
Adjusting the stretch is simple and precise. Use the articulating hinge to set your desired tension:
-
Initial Phase: If you have acute pain, set the hinge to a neutral position (90°) or slightly less to avoid over-stretching sensitive tissue.
-
Progression: As your morning symptoms improve, use the indicator window to move the hinge toward a more aggressive stretch (up to 105
-
Refinement: Use the adjustable straps to ensure the heel is seated firmly against the back of the brace for a consistent stretch.
