The TurboH: All the strength of a Turbo with all the freedom of a Tami2!
July 29, 2024
Our TurboH design offers all the control of our fixed ankle Turbo brace style while allowing for free dorsiflexion through its hinged articulation. Much like our popular Tami2 brace style, the TurboH comes with straight or dorsi-assist tamaracks. However, it has a few added benefits that set it apart from the Tami2.
The TurboH’s stiffer inner molded boot and thicker outer plastic make it ideal for larger or more active patients with a history of overpowering or cracking their braces. Its inner boot is lined with our wrap-around ALI padding, ensuring plenty of comfort and cushioning despite the more rigid material.
The TurboH is also compatible with all of our joint options. That means it can be fabricated with our standard tamaracks, adjustable metal joints, or even with plastic or aluminum upright hinges! It can even be fabricated with our adjustable plantarflexion stops or with free plantarflexion, allowing for any range of motion you have planned for your patient.
For patients who need a bit more comfort and protection, we also offer our TurboH Softy style, available with either our Softy foam inner boot, our OP Flex inner boot, or the much more flexible polyethylene inner liner that comes standard with our Tami2 brace style.
So, if you’re looking for a style that offers more control but allows for articulation, or if you have a patient overworking their Tami2s, the TurboH may be the correct brace style for you!
