Shape-adjustable, customisable, lightweight, radiopaque, time-saving
splintPod is a multiform adjustable foot support splint, designed with special consideration for use with
post-operative and post-traumatic conditions.
They can be customised to the foot and various readjustments can be made during use, for example when the foot swells during the healing process.
The short application time means that it can also be used in the emergency room or if the patient wishes to self-apply later.
