Successful treatment of dorsal foot burns is a challenge. By extrapolating from various treatments of dorsal hand burns the design of a static progressive splint was applied to the treatment of dorsal foot burns to prevent contracture deformities. The splint is composed of a base, dorsal thermoplastic piece, and Velcro strap. Soft hook and loop Velcro encircles the ankle and midfoot providing a base for the attachment of a Velcro strap. A thermoplastic piece is conformed to the dorsum of the toes and then affixed to the Velcro strap. The Velcro strap is then attached to the plantar surface of the base to create an adjustable static progressive stretch. This splint is designed to prevent dorsal foot contractures during the scar maturation phase of wound healing.
