- >Features
-
- Comfort of use the pneumatic moon boot is incomparably more comfortable than the standard plaster cast used to stabilize serious ankle injuries. First of all, it significantly improves the quality of the patient’s daily functioning. It is light and its shape allows you to move more freely. The interior of the orthosis is insulated from its structural elements with a soft filling. Thanks to this, it does not hurt or causes abrasions when worn. The possibility of removing it and putting it back on again makes it easy for the patient to keep the injured leg in proper hygiene.
- Great stabilization
The pneumatic system used in its construction allows you to smoothly adjust the degree of compression of the brace and securely stabilizes the injured leg. This solution not only provides the patient with comfort but also protects him against uncontrolled movements of the ankle, which could cause pain and lead to the renewal or deepening of the injury.
