Bledsoe Flatform Boot
Product Comparison | Ordering Info | Accessories
The Bledsoe Flatform Boot is designed with a flat innersole for procedures where toe dorsiflexion is not permissible.
Features include:
- Aluminum boot shell and upright system that, unlike plastic boots, can be reformed to fit virtually any leg or ankle shape
- Low profile rocker bottom helps eliminate pelvic tilt and alleviate low back pain
- Durable microcellular hiking tread cushions heel strike, resulting in less force transmitted to joints
- Unique rocker design allows patients to closely simulate a near normal gait without abnormal loads on any joints
- Breathable foam wraps — so breathable you can blow out a match through the material
- Optional air ankle/heel pad allows for ability to adjust ankle pressure for increased comfort and provides pneumatic ankle support.
Indications
This device is indicated for post-operative, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges procedures requiring a flat innersole surface. Also indicated for metatarsal, forefoot or calcaneous fractures and forefoot sprains.
Contraindications
This device is contraindicated for unstable fractures and proximal tibial or fibular fractures.

Bledsoe Flatform Boot vs. other methods Back to top
| Skin Comfort |
Open-cell, breathable foam laminate increases comfort and reduces possibility of skin problems. |
Flame bonded technique closes foam pores and increases possibility of skin problems. |
| Rocker Bottom |
Computer-designed rocker tread allows a near normal walking gait, and low heel prevents pelvic tilt. |
Rocker is either too high, causing back pain, or too flat, not allowing the patient to walk properly. |
| Security & Control |
Straps engage and lock to brace uprights, holding the leg steady. |
Straps pass over the uprights, through slots or to only one upright, causing the leg to move under the uprights. |
| Shell & Uprights |
Strong aluminum alloy provides strength, yet allows formability to change widths. |
Plastic shell and uprights can not be formed for swollen ankles or large legs. |
