Knee-high walker plus cohesive wrap used to make the device non-removable for plantar ulcer offloading. From a podiatric perspective, the key question is fit between the device's clinical role (offloading, total contact cast alternative) and the patient's pathology, footwear, and adherence.
Limitations. Contraindicated in some infected or ischemic wounds.
In a neuropathic foot, infection can progress quietly. Days, not weeks, often separate a manageable infection from a limb-threatening one.
