Proper fit and use of your Seattle Splint is vital to optimal healing.
Your splint is designed only for light touchdown pressure (up to 40 lbs.), not for walking on.
Take care not to bend your splint. If bending occurs, or if your splint is uncomfortable,
contact the medical professional that prescribed it so the issue can be resolved.
The instructions below provide information on use and care of your Seattle Splint.
We wish you a speedy recovery.
Putting on the Seattle Splint
Place foot flat against the foot plate.
Gently, yet firmly, push down at the anterior ankle to slide the foot down into the splint at a neutral position.
Cross the padded ankle strap over the ankle to buckle.
Slide the bar of the slide buckle into the hook buckle.
Pull on the strap to tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. A finger should easily slide under the pad.
Cross the second ankle strap over the pad. Buckle. Bring the padded shin strap across the tibia and buckle.
Using the Buckles
To buckle, the slide bar goes onto the hook.
To tighten, pull strap end.

To loosen, pull the strap over the hook to release.

To unhook, turn the slide bar like a key to slip it out of the hook.
