Allard AFOs

Allard AFOs are not just for foot drop; they are an excellent option for your patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, or any metatarsal stress fracture. By not locking up the ankle, Allard AFOs assist with better balance, thereby preventing falls. The slim design allows the AFO to fit in most standard shoes with a heel height difference.

ToeOFF® 2 ½ Addition models offer three attractive anterior shell surface options: camouflage, birch, and black.

PDQ BT-4 Infrared Oven

The BT-4 Infrared Oven is capable of bubble forming and heating sheet plastic while taking up a minimal amount of floor space. The BT-4 is big enough to heat most KAFO sheet plastics and has enough drop for even the biggest check socket. The BT-4 has the same speed and reliability you’ve come to expect from PDQ® Infrared Ovens. The eight, 1000-watt emitters, four on top and four on bottom, along with the dual electric fans, allow bubble-forming plastics to be heated evenly and efficiently. The BT-4 is truly the best of both worlds with its small size and large capacity.
