To Whom It May Concern; I am also trying to get my University Hospital where I am a foot and ankle surgeon to change their heel protection to a much better product like yours. I am actually paying out of pocket for this boot for one of my current patients to get him the heel protection and equinovarus contracture limitation he needs. What is the normal Healthcare facility charge, and can I get a sample to take to the Value Analysis Committee? Thanks so much! Sincerely, xxxxxx xxxxxxx, DPM, FACFAS Foot & Ankle Surgery University of xx HealthCare
Hello from Indiana
It was nice speaking with you regarding the back brace for our son Caleb Brewer and to get sizing info regarding some of your other products.
The back brace Caleb is currently using is wonderful!! He has Cerebral Palsy, balancing and supporting himself can be difficult at times. He is also stronger in the abdominal area than in his back so he over compensates and leans forward a lot. The back brace keeps Caleb sitting perfectly straight!! Even independently WOW! That is good proprioceptive input for him, and he can multi-task easier with good posture. So we are basically using it to help correct Caleb’s posture, help retrain and give him input. We are even able to use this back brace while seating in a bolster seat, and using it that way, he does not need any straps or harnesses to keep him upright. The material is very soft, and he can leave the shoulder straps on for a good theraputic session with no pressure marks or discomfort.
I can’t say enough, and when Caleb is independent using the back brace he is very proud of himself!!
