RCAI MPO 2000 Accessory Kit | Replacement Liners and Straps for Multi-Podus Orthosis

The MPO 2000 ACC Kit is specifically engineered to provide additional circumference for the calf and foot sections of the Multi Podus orthosis, accommodating patients with severe edema or larger anatomical profiles. By integrating these extensions, caregivers can ensure the brace remains therapeutic without becoming a source of constriction or skin irritation. This adaptability is critical for maintaining a consistent "position of function" when a patient's limb volume fluctuates throughout the recovery process. The kit ensures that the load capacity and stabilization of the original orthosis are not compromised by a tight fit. It serves as a vital bridge for home-care patients who need continued contracture management but have outgrown standard sizing due to medical swelling.

Installation of the ACC Kit is designed for "helpful neighbor" simplicity, utilizing a secure hook-and-loop system that requires absolutely no tools for a perfect fit. Caregivers can easily attach the extension straps to the existing modular links of the MPO 2000 frame, allowing for immediate adjustments as the patient’s swelling increases or decreases. This user-friendly design reduces the technical anxiety often associated with modifying medical-grade equipment in a residential setting. Because it integrates seamlessly with the original hardware, it maintains the structural alignment necessary for effective foot-drop correction. This quick-change capability ensures that the patient never has to go without their protective orthosis while waiting for a professional refitting.

No, the MPO 2000 ACC Kit is meticulously designed to preserve the core "floating heel" safety standard that eliminates friction and pressure on the bony prominences of the heel. The extensions simply widen the protective shell and strapping, ensuring that the foot remains suspended and the heel stays completely off-loaded to enhance circulation. This is a high-authority safety requirement for preventing decubitus ulcers in bed-bound or limited-ambulation patients at home. By maintaining this suspension, the kit allows for continuous wound visualization and air circulation even with the added bulk of the extender. It ensures that the primary medical goal of pressure relief is never sacrificed for the sake of a larger fit.

The ACC Kit features the same high-quality, breathable, and antibacterial foam materials found in the primary MPO 2000 system to ensure total skin integrity. This moisture-wicking technology is essential for patients with edema, as trapped perspiration can quickly lead to skin maceration and infection. The soft-touch fabric interface is gentle on "paper-thin" geriatric skin, providing a cushioned barrier against the more rigid parts of the brace. Using aerospace-grade inspired polymers for the strap reinforcements ensures that the kit remains lightweight and does not add unnecessary bulk to the limb. This material consistency guarantees that the patient receives a unified, clinical-standard experience across the entire orthotic system.

To confirm the need for an ACC Kit, you should measure the widest part of the patient's calf and the circumference of the mid-foot while they are experiencing peak swelling. If these measurements exceed the "Max Calf Circumference" listed for your current MPO 2000 size (typically 15 to 18 inches depending on the model), this extender kit is the necessary solution. The kit is available in size-specific versions (Small, Medium/Large, and Extra Large) to ensure the modular links align perfectly with your existing boot framework. Checking these specs beforehand prevents the common home-care hurdle of a brace that is too tight to be therapeutic. Proper sizing with the extender kit ensures a high ROI by extending the life of your original medical investment.
