When orthopedic surgeon Dr. Vijay Thangamani of Duly Health and Care injured his ankle playing basketball, he turned to the same solution he recommends to his patients, the TayCo Acute XAB Brace.
“I was pretty gimpy at the time and it [the Acute XAB Brace] certainly helped.”
He immediately noticed the benefits that set the Acute XAB Brace apart from a CAM boot: it’s lightweight, low profile, and most importantly, fits over a patient’s own shoe. That meant he could stay comfortable and active, even returning to the operating room wearing it.
“I was able to get shoe covers over my shoe on the TayCo Brace [in the OR], no problem.”
Dr. Thangamani sees the same advantages in his clinic. Patients love how stable it feels, how comfortably it fits over their everyday footwear, and how “cool” it looks. Many are even able to return to work sooner since they can keep wearing their required work shoes, which is something a bulky CAM boot prevents.
For both patients and providers, TayCo Brace offers protection without slowing life down, and Dr. Thangamani has experienced this firsthand.
We’re incredibly grateful to have Dr. Vijay Thangamani share both his clinical experience and his own personal recovery journey with the TayCo Acute XAB Brace. His insight reinforces what we strive for every day: solutions that keep people moving with confidence, comfort, and support.
We are honored to have Dr. Thangamani as a valued member of our Medical Advisory Board, helping us continue to advance meaningful, real-world innovation in foot and ankle care.
