Design features
The TAS® Toe Alignment Splint is a postoperative bandage for alignment that is used
instead of taping. It enables positioning and alignment of toes in the correct position
after surgery / correction, which has a decisive impact on the surgical result. A strap at
the back of the foot reduces slippage of the midfoot bandage. The soft material makes
it comfortable to wear.

The elastic metatarsal band is
designed so that it can be adjusted

band around the foot as shown

ge from slipping and is put on as
shown in fig. 3.
