How to Shower Safely with Your Splint
A simple step-by-step guide to make showering easy and safe
Prepare Your Setup
Place a sturdy shower stool inside the shower. Leave your crutches right outside the shower door where you can easily reach them.
Get Into Position
Use your crutches to hop into the shower and sit down on the stool. Make sure you're seated comfortably before the next step.
Switch Boot for Splint
While seated on the stool, remove your walking boot and put on the Thetis splint. Now you can shower with proper Achilles support.
Wash & Get Rid of That Smell
Finally! Properly wash your foot and leg that's been trapped in that stinky boot. The splint is waterproof, so you can clean thoroughly.
Exit the Shower
Grab your crutches and carefully hop out of the shower while still wearing the splint.
Dry & Swap Back
Dry off your splint and foot, then remove the splint and put your boot back on. You're all done!
Pro Tip
The splint is waterproof but not fully submersible. It handles shower water perfectly fine. After use, just air dry it before storing.
Thetis Splint vs Waterproof Boot Covers
Why being able to clean your foot makes all the difference
Thetis Waterproof Splint
- Actually clean your foot - gets wet and washed
- Maintains plantarflexion for safety
- Waterproof AND supportive
- Purpose-built for Achilles rupture
- Comfortable for extended wear
Generic Waterproof Covers
- Cannot clean your foot - stays trapped in boot
- Foot remains dirty and smelly
- Requires wearing heavy boot in shower
- Not designed for Achilles injury
- Awkward and difficult to put on
Life Saver!
This worked great and kept me from having to wear my big clunky walking boot to bed! So glad I found this. I couldn't sleep with that walking boot at night!! Great product.
Brandon 🇺🇸Perfect splint for achilles injury recovery...
It literally takes a few secs to put on and remove. Its comfortable as well. Highly recommend.
Vivek 🇺🇸Superb
Really useful after my dreadful Achilles tendon tear when I didn't want to wear the boot in bed!
Az 🇬🇧Peace of mind for Achilles injuries...
A great alternative to wearing the walking boot to bed, without worrying about inadvertently straightening or knocking your foot.
Paul 🇬🇧Total game changer for sleeping while recovering!...
Finally got the restful sleep I needed. The cast and heavy dirty boot made sleep tough. If you're recovering from an achilles rupture buy this immediately.
Chad 🇺🇸Well designed product....
This product is well designed. It gives good protection to injured Achilles' tendon whilst sleeping. Allows much better sleep compared to the pressure boot.
Jonathan 🇬🇧Eine absolute Erleichterung!...
Nach der OP an der Achillessehne war diese Schiene eine Erleichterung in der Nacht! Würde ich auf alle Fälle empfehlen wenn man wieder durchschlafen möchte!
Afantee 🇩🇪Wonderful device and splendid service...
Brilliant device. Arrived the day after it was ordered. Delighted in all respects.
Louise 🇬🇧Night time saviour
This is a saviour for night time wearing. So much easier than the big boot. Five weeks down and another five or six to go. Would have struggled with the full boot.
