Dictus Flex consists of an ankle strap, a rubber band and an attachment that is fitted the shoe. The ankle strap is secured easily around the leg with velcro and sits comfortably in place all day. The strap is made from real leather, which becomes softer and more comfortable each time you wear it.

The ankle strap is connected to the shoe attachment by a rubber band. Dictus Flex features a rubber band with two integrated plates. The Flex rubber band firmly supports the foot and can be easily tightened and adjusted as required.

The Flex is an updated version of the Dictus Band that allows the user to adjust the amount of “spring” they have in the support.  Rather than using the standard rubber band, it uses an elasticated strap with Velcro receptive pads at either end that can be attached to the ankle band at any location. The elasticated strap firmly supports the foot and can be easily tightened and adjusted as required to provide a dynamic dorsiflexion moment.

It is an ideal solution for someone who needs more or less support than the standard Dictus Band gives.

Where can I see and try on the different braces and supports?

Since many of the products we sell need to be prescribed by a physiotherapist or fitted by an orthotist, we recommend you discuss this with a specialist first. However, if you already know what you need, you are welcome to buy directly from us through this website. If you need additional help, our Customer Care Team are on the phones every weekday - you can email them(click here) or phone them on 0800 31 61 81.

We do not have a store or showroom and therefore if purchasing through our website you are unable to see the product first. We do however accept exchanges and returns for items that have not been used and are still in their original packaging.

How can I purchase these items?

If you know exactly what it is that you are after, you can purchase many items directly through our website.Some items must be prescribed by an orthotist or medical professional and will show POA instead of a price. For these products, please chat to your physiotherapist, orthotist or a medical professional about how you can be prescribed and fitted for the item.

Will ACC pay for the cost of the brace or support?

If you require the product due to the result of an accident, you may be able to have this item covered by ACC. We recommend that you discuss this with your ACC Case Manager first. We are unable to charge ACC for any products unless we receive a purchase order from them.
