AliMed Early Fit Night Splint – Heel Protection Fixed 90° Night Splint
Call 866-218-0902 to confirm the correct size before ordering and make sure this night splint is the right fit for plantar fasciitis, heel protection, or footdrop prevention.
The AliMed Early Fit Night Splint is a fixed 90-degree night splint designed to cushion and protect the heel while helping limit footdrop and reduce ankle contracture during rest and sleep. It supports the foot in a neutral position while keeping the heel from contacting a hard surface.
Unlike standard plantar fasciitis splints focused only on fascia stretch, the Early Fit design also prioritizes heel protection and footdrop management. The soft padded terry liner improves comfort, while the generously proportioned polyethylene shell provides durable structure without creating direct heel pressure. It fits either the left or right foot and is commonly used for plantar fasciitis recovery, ankle contracture prevention, and post-operative positioning.

Do I need a prescription?
Most patients can purchase directly, though insurance reimbursement may require physician documentation depending on the provider.
What if I order the wrong size?
