July 14, 2004 - Miramar, Florida... FLA Orthopedics, a leading
manufacturer of orthopedic supports and bracing products, has expanded its HealWell®
line of Plantar Fasciitis supports with the addition of the
HealWell® AFO Night Wrap
for treatment of mild or new cases of Arthritis, Achilles Tendonitis, and Plantar
Fasciitis. The patent-pending design applies countervailing tension to hold the foot
neutral, preventing nighttime contracture of the plantar fascia. |
 |
Features and Benefits include:
- Soft, Comfortable Materials - Made entirely of soft laminated and
compression-formed foams for ultimate comfort.
- Adjustable Tension Straps - Easily adjusted straps provide countervailing
tension to minimize contracture of the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia during rest
by providing a gentle stretch.
- Lightweight, Low Profile with No Bulk
- Plantar Surface Stay - A small, rigid stay on the plantar surface is built-in
between soft foam layers and functions as a lever to maintain the foot position.
- Non-Slip Pad - Allows for safe occasional walking.
- Easy Sizing and Application - Easy hook and loop closures.
- Latex and Neoprene Free
More advanced or chronic conditions may require a more rigid support or greater
dorsi-flexion for proper treatment. Other products, such as the HealWell® Cub™ or
HealWell® Night Splint are available for these conditions.
