Description

FlexiOH® Short leg immobilizers are designed as orthopedic casting technology for lower extremity fractures and soft tissue injury. It has an built-in zip system which makes the application process very easy and comfortable. With unique FlexiOH® Technology, this short leg immobilizer gives better patient comfort along with breathability and washability. For application of FlexiOH® short leg immobilizer, doctors need to apply it on the patient’s leg with the zip and then cure it with the Rizycure® light device (recommended) or direct sunlight for 8-10 mins depending on the size of immobilizer. Once it is rigid , it will take the shape of the patient’s leg for support during immobilization..

FlexiOH® Short Leg Immobilizer comes in 5 different sizes : XXS,XS, S, M and L. All the casts vary in terms of calf circumference, above ankle circumference, head of meta-tarsal circumference and foot length. For the best fit of FlexiOH® Short leg immobilizer, taking the measurement of the patient’s leg is necessary before application.
