An accompanying wedge can also be used in several ways to support the device and prevent unwanted movement. Three hook and loop fastening straps and a forefoot pad assist in securing the leg and foot in the desired position. The label has a handy area for writing on which may be used for patient specific data. This can be washed (60°C) or autoclaved for sterility.
