on the extended padded platform.

tongue that enables it to provide both rigid cast-like protection and maximum comfort to the patient.
Significant advantage over
casting, as it is highly adjustable, allowing it to properly compensate for edema.

Easily customized
utilizing a heat gun and scissors.
Each orthosis is provided with one pre-sewn double layer cotton stockinette.
