The Swede-O Deluxe Night Ankle Splint is designed to relieve pain and discomfort typically found in patients with plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. By positioning the foot at a consistent 90-degree angle, the calf muscle, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia are passively stretched during the night. This passive stress reduces morning heel pain, reduces muscle contracture, and inflammation.
The splint is constructed of a soft padded cover that makes direct contact with the skin. This lining is very comfortable against the skin and does not cause irritation. Patient compliance is important and comfort is a big plus. Each purchase includes a foam wedge insert that can add an additional 5-degree stretch when used. This insert is perfect for patients who may be more flexible and require a larger angle for the stretch to be effective. Fortunately, the splint features a bilateral design that can fit both the right and left foot.
