Surestep SMO

The Surestep SMO (supramelleolar orthosis) has revolutionized orthotic management for children with hypotonia. Using an extremely thin and flexible thermoplastic material, the Surestep SMO's innovative design compresses the soft tissues of the foot, allowing children to develop naturally while maintaining balance.
 
Surestep SMOs are carefully marked "left" and "right" to demonstrate the effectiveness of the unique compression system. Our products help stabilize the foot and reduce stress on ankles, knees, and hips, ensuring your child can grow and develop happily and healthily.
