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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ WHY DO YOU NEED AN ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT SPLINT? - If you have torn your Achilles tendon, this splint makes recovery more comfortable. For three months you are advised to wear a cast or orthopaedic boot to hold your foot plantarflexed (tip-toes). This keeps your tendon in the best position for healing. This position is needed at ALL times, day and night. Nobody likes wearing the boot in bed. The Thetis brace is light and breathable, allowing you to safely rest without the boot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ WHEN CAN YOU USE THE ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔ THE ONLY ACHILLES RUPTURE SPLINT - This patented product is designed and manufactured in the UK by Achilles splint specialists, Thetis Medical.
