Review: Worth it! - If you've ruptured your Achilles tendon... Commiserations! It's not fun. And it's not a quick recovery. You will have been given a Controlled Ankle Movement (CAM) boot and, after wearing it all day, there's no respite at night. Like me, you might find that sleeping in the boot is even harder than walking in it. It's hot. Things you don't notice during the day suddenly become impossible to ignore: a bit of pressure here, a bit of rubbing there. And you can't sleep. This is exactly what the night splint is designed to solve. And it works. As others have noted, the splint is not cheap, but it's a niche product, made by a small company, and there's little scope for economies of scale. You're paying for the expertise that went into its design too. In my view, it's worth every penny. It took me a bit of fiddling around making minor adjustments to the position and tightness of the straps to get it comfortable. It's a case of balancing security and comfort. I prioritised security and, the first night, I had tightened the strap that goes under the foot a little too much and, as a result, the splint was pressing on the top of my foot too much for a whole night's comfort. I was also concerned that the strap at the heel might cause problems, but it hasn't. In the end, I've found that I'm actually having the heel strap a little tighter than the calf and foot straps and that's got the balance between security and comfort about right. I've still found that a cotton wool make-up pad, half under the splint, at the edge nearest my small, outer toes helps: everyone's feet are different and I found that was a bit of a pressure point. However, it's worth the effort: I've been able to sleep well and the splint has remained secure. The recovery of my Achilles tendon remains on track too. In summary, then, this has been a very worthwhile purchase. It's a good example of a small company that's identified a problem and provided a solution. (Note: the Thetis website is also an excellent source of information about Achilles tendon injuries and recovery.) I would also suggest searching for the Evenup Shoe Balancer on desertcart: another helpful product but one that makes walking with a CAM boot a bit easier.
Review: Great for sleeping - This is a life saver! Had Achilles tendons surgery and once I removed the cast I tried sleeping with the vacoped for one night and it was a nightmare. Luckily the surgeon recommended the split which is very comfortable and does the job perfectly. Sleep is a big component for quick recovery, really glad I bought it.

## Features

- ✔ WHAT CAN YOU USE THE ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT SPLINT TO TREAT? - The splint is designed specifically for Achilles tendon rupture. Rupture means that the tendon is completely torn. The Thetis splint holds your foot plantarflexed (toes down) at 155 degrees. This angle ensures optimal healing. N.B. this splint is NOT SUITABLE for Achilles Tendinitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciitis or Broken Bones.
- ✔ WHY DO YOU NEED AN ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT SPLINT? - If you have torn your Achilles tendon, this splint makes recovery more comfortable. For three months you are advised to wear a cast or orthopaedic boot to hold your foot plantarflexed (tip-toes). This keeps your tendon in the best position for healing. This position is needed at ALL times, day and night. Nobody likes wearing the boot in bed. The Thetis brace is light and breathable, allowing you to safely rest without the boot.
- ✔ WHEN CAN YOU USE THE ACHILLES RUPTURE NIGHT SPLINT? - The splint is designed to be used instead of your orthopaedic boot, but only when you rest. You cannot walk in the splint without crutches. If you had surgery on your Achilles you should allow two weeks for wound healing (check with your surgeon before use). The splint can be used to provide relief when sitting or lying, giving relief from your orthopaedic boot. You MUST NOT walk or stand in this splint.
- ✔ NON-SLIP ELASTIC STRAPS AND SECURE BOOSTER STRAP - non-slip silicone on the elastic straps maximises both comfort and security. The booster strap wraps around the ankle and features strong, zero-flex webbing to prevent the foot from bending up (dorsiflexion). This ensures optimal positioning to protect the healing tendon. The innovative elastic strap around the heel ensures security without contact against the injured Achilles.
- ✔ THE ONLY ACHILLES RUPTURE SPLINT - This patented product is designed and manufactured in the UK by Achilles splint specialists, Thetis Medical. The brace has been designed alongside specialist Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Every feature of the splint is clinician approved. The Thetis Achilles Rupture Night splint is unique - it is the only lightweight purpose-made device suitable for resting while you recover from an Achilles rupture.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use the splint instead of a boot?**
A: Yes, it is designed as an alternative - but ONLY for use when resting. You cannot walk or stand in the splint without crutches.

**Q: Is the sizing accurate?**
A: Yes, the sizing is accurate. Sizing is based on foot size, designed to ensure that the splint does not interfere with the toes.

**Q: Can you use the splint for Achilles tendonitis?**
A: No, the splint is only used after rupture of the Achilles tendon. It is not suitable for broken bones, plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. The splint holds the foot pointed downwards, in a tiptoe position, for tendon healing. For other conditions, like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, there are different splints deliberately designed to do the opposite, and hold the foot up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for sleeping

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product for early post-surgery weeks
*by M***A on 28 September 2023*

I ordered this splint and arrived after a few days, but i was already 5 wks after surgery. Already wearing an Ossur Rebound Air Walker, with 5 wedges. I believe the splint would have been great for earlier stages; right now i cannot use it because the position of my foot is not at maximum equine. Therefore I would advise for usage very early, before starting to take out wedges. Otherwise, great product, good quality, balanced price (no other comparable option).
