Orthomerica® Releases Pediatric UFO


Orthomerica is pleased to introduce the new Pediatric UFO, a prefabricated orthosis for stretching and maintaining dorsiflexion range of motion.  This unique lower-limb orthosis positions the foot and ankle in optimal alignment for placing stretch on the soleus while the patient is sleeping. When used in conjunction with a knee immobilizer, this orthosis can also stretch the two-joint gastrocnemius group.

Features:

•

Copolymer plastic resists strain

• Replaceable Coolfoam™ interface is comfortable and wicks moisture away from the limb.
• Easy strapping system adjusts to increase or decrease the amount of dorsiflexion.
• Non-skid sole on the plantar surface allows limited ambulation in the orthosis.
• 45 degree ankle strap holds calcaneus into the heel cup.
• Straps can be added to increase forefoot and midfoot control.
• Dorsiflexion wedge included to reduce toe grasp and increase dorsiflexion range over time.
• Available as a stock item for same day shipment in white copolymer and with purple butterflies or tornado transfer patterns. Other transfer options are subject to additional surcharge and require a two-day lead-time.
