RCA MPO 2000 Without Transfer Attachment | Pediatric Heel Pressure Relief & Alignment

The Pediatric MPO 2000 is specifically engineered to eliminate all pressure on the heel by "floating" it in a protective, suspended state while the child is reclining. This design is critical for preventing skin breakdown and pressure ulcers, which can develop quickly in pediatric patients with limited mobility. By shifting the weight-bearing load to the calf and foot, the device ensures that the vulnerable heel area remains completely free of contact with the bed surface. For parents, this provides essential peace of mind knowing that their child's skin integrity is being professionally managed around the clock. This high-authority medical tool is a staple for home recovery, ensuring safety without the need for constant manual repositioning.

To find the perfect fit, you should measure your child's foot length from the heel to the tip of the big toe and compare it to our specific pediatric sizing chart. It is also important to check the maximum calf circumference to ensure the leg straps will secure the orthosis comfortably without restricting circulation. Because children grow quickly, we recommend selecting the size that offers a bit of room in the toe post while still maintaining a snug, secure fit at the ankle. If your child experiences fluctuating swelling, the adjustable straps and optional extender kits provide the necessary flexibility to maintain a proper fit. Choosing the right size ensures the device’s load capacity is utilized correctly, providing the best therapeutic outcome for your child.

The liner of the Pediatric MPO 2000 is crafted from a soft, anti-microbial wicking material that is designed to be exceptionally gentle on a child's sensitive skin. This breathable fabric effectively manages moisture and heat, which are the primary causes of skin irritation and maceration during extended wear. By keeping the skin dry and cool, the liner allows for better compliance with the prescribed wearing schedule, as the child remains comfortable throughout the day and night. This focus on dermatological health is vital for preventing infections and ensuring a positive experience for the young user. It acts as a "helpful neighbor" by prioritizing both medical efficacy and the daily comfort of your little one.

Yes, the MPO 2000 features a heat-moldable Kydex shell that allows a clinical professional to customize the foot and ankle angle to meet your child’s specific needs. This adaptability is essential for treating evolving conditions like foot drop or ankle contractures where the range of motion may change during the recovery process. As your child’s flexibility improves through physical therapy, the orthosis can be modified to maintain a corrective counterforce that supports their progress. This dynamic capability ensures that the device remains a valuable part of your home medical setup for the duration of the treatment. It provides a level of customization typically only found in high-end hospital equipment.

Maintaining hygiene is straightforward because the soft liner is fully removable and can be hand-washed with mild detergent to keep it fresh and free of bacteria. In a pediatric home setting, where spills or accidents are common, being able to easily clean the contact surfaces is essential for preventing odors and maintaining skin health. After washing, the liner should be air-dried to preserve the integrity of the anti-microbial fibers and the foam cushioning. Regular inspection of the hook-and-loop fasteners ensures that the orthosis continues to provide a secure and stable fit for your child. This simple maintenance routine ensures the product remains durable and effective, providing excellent long-term ROI for your family.
