The AirSelect Standard walking boot offers a moderate level of support and Aircast’s quality, effectiveness, and comfort in an economical model. The main indications for the Standard are:

• Stable fracture of foot/ankle/lower leg
• Severe ankle sprain
• Post-operative immobilization

The Standard has a durable, semi-rigid shell that supports the limb while providing protection. Housed within the shell are two adjustable distal aircells that provide compression and support the malleoli. SoftStrike technology absorbs and dissipates shock, while the lightweight and rocker sole combine to encourage a natural gait and a continuation of everyday activities.

Features & Benefits

• Customizable, independent aircells (NO separate hand bulb). An integrated inflation system puts the user in control of an individualized fit
• Non-marking, skid-resistant rubber tread. For greater traction and longer wear.
• Removal of heel pain. SoftStrike technology absorbs and dissipates the energy during heel strike,
• Low-profile rocker sole
• Custom and comfortable fit. Trimmable and heat moldable semi-rigid shell. A sleek, open-frame design provides ventilation and patient protection and compliance. Shell contours around the malleoli, for sustained comfort. AirSelect boots have improved width around the ankle area as well as uniform sizing throughout the various sizes of the boot (XS-XL)
• Ease of application. Three-strap system evenly disperses pressure. The integrated inflation system is intuitive and permits quick and easy customization of each Aircell

Warnings/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.
