Orthomerica is pleased to announce the introduction of the CORONA™ Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) —designed for ambulatory patients with loss of protective sensation, foot deformity, Charcot changes, and general forms of foot and ankle instability.Ê The CORONA facilitates expedient total contact stabilization of the foot and ankle complex. This bivalved thermoplastic orthosis provides total contact to the lower limb and restricts sagittal, coronal, and transverse plane movements to promote healing and improve alignment.

The orthosis is fabricated to the patient’s impression and measurements, and can be fine-tuned by the orthotist for optimal biomechanical function.Ê A deep, custom foot bed provides an intimate fit with the plantar surface of the foot to support the arch, unload compromised soft tissue, control hindfoot motion, and stabilize Charcot changes and fractures. The anterior and posterior rigid polypropylene shells are lined with washable Coolfoam™ to enhance total contact and provide precise control of the limb. In many cases, the CORONA orthosis can be used to replace total contact casts presently used in the treatment of pathological fractures and foot anomalies.
