New Ruptured Achilles Night Splint Thetis Medical Recovery (LARGE RIGHT )

Description: New Ruptured Achilles Night Splint Thetis Medical Recovery (LARGE RIGHT ). NEW IN OPEN PACKAGING Product details Brand: Thetis Medical Size: Large Use for: Foot Age Range (Description): Adult Material: Plastic WHAT CAN YOU USE THE ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT SPLINT TO TREAT? - The splint is designed specifically for Achilles tendon rupture. Rupture means that the tendon is completely torn. The Thetis splint holds your foot plantarflexed (toes down) at 155 degrees. This angle ensures optimal healing. N.B. this splint is NOT SUITABLE for Achilles Tendinitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciitis or Broken Bones. WHY DO YOU NEED AN ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT SPLINT? - If you have torn your Achilles tendon, this splint makes recovery more comfortable. For three months you are advised to wear a cast or orthopaedic boot to hold your foot plantarflexed (tip-toes). This keeps your tendon in the best position for healing. This position is needed at ALL times, day and night. Nobody likes wearing the boot in bed. The Thetis brace is light and breathable, allowing you to safely rest without the boot. WHEN CAN YOU USE THE ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT SPLINT? - The splint is designed to be used instead of your orthopaedic boot, but only when you rest. You cannot walk in the splint without crutches. If you had surgery on your Achilles you should allow two weeks for wound healing (check with your surgeon before use). The splint can be used to provide relief when sitting or lying, giving relief from your orthopaedic boot. You MUST NOT walk or stand in this splint. NON-SLIP ELASTIC STRAPS AND SECURE BOOSTER STRAP - non-slip silicone on the elastic straps maximises both comfort and security. The booster strap wraps around the ankle and features strong, zero-flex webbing to prevent the foot from bending up (dorsiflexion). This ensures optimal positioning to protect the healing tendon. The innovative elastic strap around the heel ensures security without contact against the injured Achilles. THE ONLY ACHILLES RUPTURE SPLINT - This patented product is designed and manufactured in the UK by Achilles splint specialists, Thetis Medical. The brace has been designed alongside specialist Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Every feature of the splint is clinician approved. The Thetis Achilles Rupture Night splint is unique - it is the only lightweight purpose-made device suitable for resting while you recover from an Achilles rupture. Reviews: Beer Grrrrl 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Great for Achilles Tear Recovery Too! Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024 Style: Large Right While I did not have a complete rupture of my achilles, I did have surgery to repair a small tear and tendonosis and found this brace to be extremely helpful during my recovery. This was my second time having the surgery and I really wish Id known about this brace the first time around as its been a fantastic alternative to wearing the boot for sleeping. I showed it to my surgeon before purchasing just to make sure and he approved right away. Makes me wonder why they dont proactively recommend it honestly as wearing a walking boot while trying to sleep isnt great. This brace fit well and is infinitely more comfortable, which allowed me to sleep well and to keep my bedsheets clean. The only downside for me is the heel strap placement is right over my incision so I have to cover the incision with extra bandages but its not a huge deal. I would highly recommend this! Rob Lovegreen 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase It works perfect to keep my foot in forward flexion. Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2024 Style: Large Right This product works perfect to keep my foot in forward flexion as I sleep Just lay in bed during the day. In order for Achilles tendon ruptures to heal correctly having your foot in this position, early on after injury is imperative. Im not a doctor, but thats What doctor say. I tried the splint Against my skin, but after wearing a while, it starts to bother my foot a bit. So I wear a sock underneath it and it works perfect DAO 4.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Finally got some sleep Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2023 Style: Large Right This device saved me. I could not sleep in the foot recovery boot which I was required to wear at all times, even in bed. I was suffering with zero sleep. I tired this night splint and was able to get a good nights rest. It was night and day for sure. It was way lighter and so much more comfortable. It is not cheap, but it was worth every penny. Dennis Kitch 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase You need this for a good nights sleep! Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2024 Style: Large Right Ruptured Achilles is hard. And recovery is very long. Ive never had total bed rest before. This night brace as been a savior: I can sleep and rest comfortably. It is light, cool and easy to put on. Far preferable to (not) sleeping in The Boot. Sleep is critical to recovery. Its not cheap, but worth the price for a well designed niche medical product. Other reviewers have some negative comments about design and comfort. I dont agree. Strapping a sensitive injured foot into a brace is not a usual thing and some minor strap adjustments relieved discomfort. I did consult with my Orthopedic Surgeon, as Thetis recommended. Since my surgeon also has an MA in engineering, after the caveats about not touching down, gave approval. 2 weeks post surgery Ive combined the Thetis night brace with the IWalk Hands Free crutch around the house. I can cook, clean, carry stuff in both hands and be a little less of an imposition on my spouse. Still use The Boot when I have to gimp out to run unavoidable errands. Prior to this injury I was very active, with decent balance and leg strength. All necessary for the above combination. Finally: be patient. Recovery from an Achilles Rupture takes time. Chad 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Total game changer for sleeping while recovering! Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2024 Style: Large Right 3.5 weeks post-injury, non-operative: finally got the restful sleep I needed. The cast and heavy dirty boot made sleep tough, but now my foot feels secure, and I can sleep normally again! If you're recovering from an achilles rupture buy this immediately. Buhmi 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Eine absolute Erleichterung! Reviewed in Germany on May 23, 2024 Nach der OP an der Achillessehne war diese Schiene eine Erleichterung in der Nacht! Wrde ich auf alle Flle empfehlen wenn man wieder durchschlafen mchte! Sven May 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Ein Gamechanger Reviewed in Germany on April 2, 2024 Nach meiner Achillessehnenruptur und meiner op, habe ich die ersten Nchte mit Orthese geschlafen. Lnger als eine Stunde am Stck schlafen und mit stndigen Positionswechseln und Druckschmerzen waren die Nchte eine reine Qual. Zum Glck habe ich dann diese Schiene bei Amazon entdeckt. Klar ist es ein Nieschenprodukt und klar ist der Preis angesichts der verbauten Materialien viel zu hoch und trotzdem ist mir die Schiene jeden Cent wert, denn sie war der Gamechanger fr meine Nchte:) Endlich geschtzt und trotzdem recht frei schlafen zu knnen, war eine wahre Wohltat fr meinen Schlaf:) wichtig die Schiene korrekt anzulegen, aber die Klettverschlsse nicht zu fest zu zurren, da man sonst nachts ebenfalls starke Schmerzen bekommt. Sollte in allen Sanittshusern im Regal liegen und auch empfohlen werden, denn guter Schlaf trgt erheblich zur Regeneration und Heilung bei :) Vasile Sfirnaciuc 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Gute Qualitt Reviewed in Germany on November 8, 2024 Bixi 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Groartige Schiene Reviewed in Germany on September 28, 2024 Endlich wieder nachts schlafen. Die Schiene ist leicht, gut gepolstert und lsst wieder Luft an den Fu. Sie liegt gut an und hlt den Fu in Position. Warum gibt es die nicht hier in den Sanittshusern? Nicht mal ein Hinweis darauf! Bin im Internet darauf gestoen und htte sie gerne von Anfang an gehabt. Welch eine Erleichterung. M. D. Taylor 5.0 out of 5 stars - Verified Purchase Worth it! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2024 If you've ruptured your Achilles tendon... Commiserations! It's not fun. And it's not a quick recovery. You will have been given a Controlled Ankle Movement (CAM) boot and, after wearing it all day, there's no respite at night. Like me, you might find that sleeping in the boot is even harder than walking in it. It's hot. Things you don't notice during the day suddenly become impossible to ignore: a bit of pressure here, a bit of rubbing there. And you can't sleep. This is exactly what the night splint is designed to solve. And it works. As others have noted, the splint is not cheap, but it's a niche product, made by a small company, and there's little scope for economies of scale. You're paying for the expertise that went into its design too. In my view, it's worth every penny. It took me a bit of fiddling around making minor adjustments to the position and tightness of the straps to get it comfortable. It's a case of balancing security and comfort. I prioritised security and, the first night, I had tightened the strap that goes under the foot a little too much and, as a result, the splint was pressing on the top of my foot too much for a whole night's comfort. I was also concerned that the strap at the heel might cause problems, but it hasn't. In the end, I've found that I'm actually having the heel strap a little tighter than the calf and foot straps and that's got the balance between security and comfort about right. I've still found that a cotton wool make-up pad, half under the splint, at the edge nearest my small, outer toes helps: everyone's feet are different and I found that was a bit of a pressure point. However, it's worth the effort: I've been able to sleep well and the splint has remained secure. The recovery of my Achilles tendon remains on track too. In summary, then, this has been a very worthwhile purchase. It's a good example of a small company that's identified a problem and provided a solution. (Note: the Thetis website is also an excellent source of information about Achilles tendon injuries and recovery.) I would also suggest searching for the Evenup Shoe Balancer from this seller: Another helpful product but one that makes walking with a CAM boot a bit easier. . .
