Creative Adaptations Presents the TC Stop

The TC Stop is a single component allowing ease of placement and thermoforming. The bumpers are made up of a specially formulated shore "A" Urethane. This material is firm enough to maintain correction, yet soft enough not to produce a hard clicking sound like the hard plastic used in other stops. After fabrication of the AFO, the bumpers can be removed and replaced by a solid insert. This gives the practitioner the option of an articulating AFO or a fixed AFO.

Adult and Pediatric Sizes Available.
