550SKG - AFO Paediatric Standard Kodel G-Metal
This PRAFO is functionally identical to our adult standard 650 model, but made in a smaller size to accommodate your paediatric patients. It can be used to prevent pressure sores at the heel or malleoli areas due to pressure from a mattress, and the metal upright structure resists the development of plantarflexion contractures where muscle tone is high. Preventing contractures and heel ulcers can make a big difference to the potential for rehabilitation.
Using the 550SKG can accelerate the prospects for rehabilitation by allowing safe ambulation at the earliest opportunity. This design is a great choice for immediate fit & early intervention in acute or sub acute rehabilitation of the patient. The device is suitable for left and right and adjusts to various foot and lower-limb sizes.
