Insole splint "FLEX STEP" made of high-quality polypropylene. Ergonomic and innovative design. Clinical studies have shown that the splint fully stabilizes the ankle.

The internal foam lining acts as a protective layer from pressure applied to the front side and height of the calf. It can also be used as a night splint when the patient is in a supine position.
