ProCare Prowedge Night Splint supports recovery from plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis by holding the foot in passive dorsiflexion during rest. Its contoured posterior shell with soft padding promotes comfort throughout the night, while the included full-length toe wedge provides an extra stretch to the plantar fascia. The splint features a removable, washable liner for hygiene and fits either foot for added convenience. A non-skid bottom allows safe, limited ambulation without removing the splint.

Features:

• Provides passive dorsiflexion to aid healing in plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis
• Contoured, padded posterior shell enhances comfort during sleep
• Removable and washable liner maintains hygiene and long-term use
• Includes full-length toe wedge to extend plantar fascia stretch
• Universal fit design works for both right and left foot

Application Information:

• Proper Application: Apply the splint with the knee bent to maximize the angle of joint dorsiflexion. Before wearing the splint overnight, wear it for one hour initially and then remove it to check for any irritation or discoloration. Adjust the splint if necessary.
• Nighttime Wear: The Night Splint can be comfortably worn at night while reclining or sitting, facilitating passive stretching of the affected area.
• Limited Ambulation: The non-skid material on the bottom allows for limited ambulation while wearing the splint.

Instructions for Use:

• Place the foot into the splint, ensuring that the heel is securely seated and the big toe is within the confines of the splint.
• Wrap the instep strap over the center of the ankle joint and secure it in place using the hook closure.
• Straighten the leg out and check the tightness of the instep strap. Adjust as necessary to ensure a snug fit without causing discomfort.
• Secure the remaining straps along the foot and leg, ensuring that they are well padded to prevent irritation. Cotton socks can be worn underneath for additional protection.
• Insertion of Wedge: Slide the thin end of the foam wedge (blue side up) between the foot and splint, ensuring that the thin end rests under the heel and the thick end under the big toe.

Precaution:Do not apply the foam wedge until instructed to do so by a physician or other healthcare professional.
