VACOped Achilles Injury/Fracture Orthosis Boot

VACOped Achilles Injury/Fracture Orthosis Boot is the number one choice of patients and physicians alike for treating Achilles injuries. It has an adjustable, articulating ankle feature for dynamic settings such as plantar flexion and controlled Range of Motion (ROM) thus allowing and enabling an active recovery.

The VACOcast family of orthoses have a patented vacuum-relief insert. This allows you to create a “custom-molded” fit that is specific to your anatomy and is markedly more comfortable and stable than any other orthopedic boot on the market.

VACOped-Achilles Orthosis is also repeatedly sought out by professional and world-class athletes in varying fields of athletics.

• Second: Bring your dry extra liner to the pool.
• Third:  While wearing your VACOped, enter the pool and enjoy your swim!  Exit the pool, and sit somewhere safe.  Remove your VACOped and dry off your foot.  Unzip the back of the wet liner and remove the vacuum insert.  Dry off the vacuum insert and place into the dry extra liner.  Shake excess water out of the VACOped shell and towel it dry.  Apply the dry liner/insert onto your dry foot, and apply the shell as usual.  You’re now good to go!  Allow the wet liner to air dry.  You may machine-wash the liners on medium, but do not machine dry, or they may shrink.
