PFS Med

The PFS Med Tibial Ankle Foot Orthosis (TAFO) is a superior rigid orthosis that offers a wider range of applications than standard prefabricated orthoses. The difference is in PFS Med’s construction and design. Our hospital grade alloy shell is malleable for a custom fit. The longer tibular/fibular lever arm provides maximum support to the ankle.

PFS Med splints are manufactured with a neutral ankle position. The TAFO achieves therapeutic objectives by stabilizing the foot and ankle while also allowing easy access for wound care, skin checks and therapeutic range of motion exercises. Additionally, deep heel relief accommodates protruding os calcis fractures and allows maximum 10 degree plantar flexion. Dorsi flexion can be adjusted to 5 degrees.

• Functional ankle position for optimal outcomes and preventing contractures
• Comfort to maximize patient compliance
• Adaptability to accommodate a full-range of patient heights, weights and thicknesses of dressings
• Anatomical contours to support the leg, ankle and foot
• Expanded heel pocket to relieve direct pressure and provide deep heel relief
• Rigidity to maintain stabilization
• Strength and durability to tolerate long-term use by trauma patients
• Riveted straps to provide stability and prevent loss
• Skid resistant pads
• Easy removal to allow wound and skin care and therapeutic range of motion exercises
• Mobility to allow touch-down crutch/walker ambulation
