Ideal For

Podiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists who prescribe pneumatic night splints for patients requiring adjustable overnight dorsiflexion stretching will find the Darco Pneumatic Night Splint a more customizable option than standard static night splints, as the integrated air bladder allows the dorsiflexion angle to be adjusted to the individual's comfort level rather than being fixed at a single position. Patients who have tried standard night splints but found them uncomfortable due to excessive dorsiflexion will appreciate the ability to start at a lower inflation level and gradually increase the stretch as their tolerance improves. DME suppliers and medical supply purchasers sourcing Darco pneumatic night splints will find the 1435B a consistently available Medium option in black. Users who prefer a night splint with an integrated inflation system and no external components will find the one-hand operation and cotton terry liner practical for nightly use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the pneumatic inflation system work?
The integrated pump inflates the internal air bladder within the splint, increasing the degree of dorsiflexion applied to the foot and ankle. Squeezing the pump adds air to increase the stretch; pressing the release valve deflates the bladder to reduce dorsiflexion. The system is fully integrated with no external tubes or pumps, and one-hand operation makes it easy to adjust without assistance.

Why is adjustable dorsiflexion important?
Different patients tolerate different degrees of dorsiflexion, and the optimal stretch angle varies based on individual flexibility and comfort. A fixed-angle night splint may be too aggressive for some patients and reduce compliance. The infinitely adjustable air bladder allows patients to start at a comfortable level and gradually increase the stretch over time as their flexibility improves.

How do I know if Medium is the right size?
The Medium fits men's shoe sizes 5 to 8 and women's shoe sizes 7 to 10. Other sizes are available in the Darco Pneumatic Night Splint line. If you are between sizes, consult your physician or physical therapist for guidance.

Can I walk to the bathroom at night while wearing this splint?
The non-skid sole allows for limited ambulation if needed during the night. The splint is designed for use during sleep and is not intended for extended walking. Use caution when ambulating with the splint and hold onto a stable surface for support.
