JD Orthopedics Aircast® FP Walker™

The Foam Walker provides semi-pneumatic support with Aircast full-shell protection and is available in 4 sizes (small, medium, large and X-large). Foam-filled aircells cushion the ankle for customized comfort and support. This support is effective in fracture healing and managing edema. Includes a hand bulb.

Indications:

• Stable fracture of foot and/or ankle
• Severe ankle sprain
• Post-operative use

Features:

• A semi-rigid shell for protection formerly expected only from a cast
• A rocker sole to reduce plantar pressures
• Pulsating, graduated compression for edema reduction
• Custom-inflated aircells maintain proper positioning of leg within brace for enhanced stability

Key Benefits:

• Anthropometric full-shell support
• Custom inflated aircells for individual fit and support
• Semi-pneumatic compression for improved blood flow and edema management
• Lightweight design: rigid foot, flexible around calf for strength, fit and comfort
• Full shell protection. Low profile for natural gait. Sealed air-cushioned heel

Warnings/Precautions:
Do not over-inflate aircells. Improper aircell inflation may cause significant skin irritation in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Reduce aircell compression with any visual skin changes or reported discomfort. Do not use this device on patient's incapable of communicating physical discomfort. Like all lower extremity immobilizers, such as casts or braces, patients without sensation (i.e. post-op anesthesia, neuropathies, etc.) should be monitored frequently for “hot spots”, skin irritation or wound management. Use caution when walking on slippery or wet surfaces to avoid injury. At high altitudes the aircells will expand beyond their optimal level. Adjust aircell pressure by tightening or loosening straps.
