- ✔ WHAT CAN YOU USE THE ACHILLES RUPTURE 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 SPLINT? - This splint aids in a more comfortable recovery following an Achilles tendon rupture. Maintaining the foot in a plantarflexed position is crucial for healing, typically requiring a cast or orthopaedic boot for an extended period, day and night. The Thetis brace offers a lighter and more breathable alternative for comfortable rest.
- ✔ WHEN CAN YOU USE THE ACHILLES RUPTURE 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 developed in collaboration with specialist Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeons, ensuring every feature is clinician approved. The Thetis Achilles Rupture Night splint is a unique, lightweight device specifically designed for comfortable rest during Achilles rupture recovery.
