Child / Infant PRAFO Range
Protecting the most vulnerable.
The paediatric and infant PRAFOs are specifically designed to protect and support our littlest patients. Addressing a multitude of clinical applications our orthotics are the premier choice for safe ambulation.
Whilst the Standard Paediatric PRAFO (550SKG) or Standard Infant PRAFO (450RKG) are our ‘go to’s’ for early, quick, intervention and protection, there are a number of other devices which can offer additional adjustment or support. In many clinical cases you will require more than just pressure relief.
Use our Interactive Tool to help select the right device for your needs.
550SKG - Paediatric AFO Standard
553SKG - Paediatric Dual Action
554SKG - Paediatric Dynamic Dorsi Assist
450RKG - Infant PRAFO
454RKG - Infant Dynamic Dorsi Assist

Its what you take off.
What makes a PRAFO unique?
When you choose a PRAFO, you can be assured of an excellent quality product and a set of standard features that set it apart from other available AFOs.
Versatile Sizing
One PRAFO can be used on either the left or right leg and is adjustable in foot length and calf length. You don’t need to stock a range of sizes or variations.
Metal Structural Upright
The PRAFO is the only device with a metal upright section. This is important because the device does not easily become displaced on the foot due to patient movement. It can also be used at night to resist development of plantarflexion contractures. If you use an AFO that flexes too much you can cause pressure ulcers on the foot.
Built in Walking Base
In order to safely mobilise the patient whilst in the device, there is a built in walking base.
Malleable Anti-Rotation Bar
Each PRAFO is fitted with an anti-rotation bar to prevent internal or external rotation of the limb, which can lead to pressure on the malleoli.
Fine Adjustment Capabilities
A PRAFO is the only device available with fine adjustment of the dorsiflexion / plantarflexion or equinovarus / valgus to accommodate existing deformity.
