Aircast AirSelect Elite Walking Boot with Semi-Rigid Shell and Integrated Inflation System (X-Small)

The Aircast AirSelect Elite in X-Small size is a walking boot, engineered to provide protection, comfort, and edema control. It is used for stable fracture of foot, ankle, or lower leg, severe ankle sprain, post-operative immobilization, and reduction of edema (swelling). The Elite has a durable, semi-rigid shell that helps support the limb while providing full-shell protection. Overlapping Duplex aircells line the shell providing intermittent pneumatic compression for edema reduction. The front panel is pre-inflated and combined with the overlapping aircells, and provides a 'total contact' fit. SoftStrike technology absorbs and dissipates shock, while the light weight rocker sole combine to encourage a natural gait and a continuation of everyday activities.

Benefits

It has an integrated inflation system (no separate hand bulb). The integrated inflation system puts the patient in control for an individualized fit. The brace has a non-marking, skid resistant rubber tread for greater traction and longer wear. The toe-off section continues the rocking motion, enhancing mobility. Mid-stance section is designed to minimize hip differential. It has a trimmable and heat moldable semi-rigid shell. This makes it easy to custom-fit the brace to the patient for a more comfortable fit. The sleek, open-frame design provides ventilation and patient protection and compliance. The shell contours around the malleoli, eliminating pressure for sustained comfort. AirSelect boots have improved width around the ankle area as well as uniformed sizing throughout the various sizes of the boot. The three-strap system evenly disperses pressure and helps reduce pooling of edema. Ease of application.

Warnings and Precautions

Do not over-inflate aircells. Improper aircell inflation may cause significant skin irritation, especially in people with diabetic neuropathy (a diabetic nerve condition). Check your skin frequently for ‘hot spots’ and skin irritation. If you see any skin changes or feelings of discomfort, reduce the aircell compression. Do not use this device if you cannot feel sensations whether due to post-op anesthesia, nerve, skin, or other conditions. Use caution when walking on slippery or wet surfaces to avoid injury.
