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.
