Fran Makey, Paediatric Lead Orthotist, SCH

After a few practices, the moulding process became second nature. The results speak for themselves patients consistently praise the comfort, and love that Turtlebrace can even be worn in water. Clinically, it’s a major time-saver: I can measure and mould in a single appointment, removing the need for a separate supply visit. It’s also ideal for patients who struggle with traditional custom or stock orthoses. Adjustments are simple, and the AFO fits into standard footwear without needing a larger shoe size.

Isabelle Taylor, Orthotist, NGH

These devices can be rapidly moulded using an oven or heat bag, eliminating the need for workshop facilities or follow-up appointments. They’re especially useful when trialling AFOs, allowing real-time assessment of patient tolerance and timely, evidence-based decisions. Compared to standard resting splints, Turtlebrace offers superior control of the foot and ankle.

Lauren Cox, National Clinical Lead, Orthotics

Turtlebrace’s adaptability means adjustments are quick and quiet,no scissors or noisy tools required. This is a huge benefit for neurodiverse patients, where traditional methods can be challenging. Patients can continue daily routines, including water-based activities, without needing expensive covers or lifestyle changes. It’s now our go-to solution.

Clara Bailey, Orthotic Clinical Lead

Turtlebrace AFOs are lighter, more flexible, and more comfortable than solid plastic options. The fabric cover adds to the comfort, and fitting is quick and easy completed in a single appointment. I’ve even had patients cancel planned ankle surgeries after experiencing the benefits.
