AirSelect Elite
The Elite is engineered to provide protection, comfort, and oedema control.
- Stable fracture of foot/ankle/lower leg
- Severe ankle sprain
- Post-operative immobilization
- Reduction of oedema (swelling) 3x faster(1)
- 4 aircells for support and comfort
The Elite has a durable, semi-rigid shell that helps support the limb while providing full-shell protection.
Overlapping Duplex air cells line the shell providing intermittent pneumatic compression for 3x faster oedema reduction(1).
The front panel is pre-inflated and combined with the three overlapping aircells, provides a 'total contact' fit.
SoftStrike technology absorbs and dissipates shock, while the light weight and lab-tested rocker sole combine to encourage a natural gait and a continuation of everyday activities
Includes Walker Stretch sock
How to fit
Features and Benefits
- Non-marking, skid resistant rubber tread
- For greater traction and longer wear
- Duplex technology
- Promotes faster oedema reduction, thus promoting pain relief, patient compliance and faster healing(1,2)
- SoftStrike technology
- Absorbs and dissipates the energy during heel strike
- Reduction of heel pain
- Low profile optimized rocker sole
- The lab-designed rocker sole, enables a normal walking gait with less forefoot angulations’ and reduces hyperextension of the knee
- Toe-off section continues the rocking motion, enhancing mobility
- Mid-stance section is designed to minimize hip differential
- Trimmable and heat moldable semi-rigid shell
- Makes it easy to custom-fit the brace to the patient for a more comfortable fit
- Sleek, open-frame design provides ventilation and maximum patient protection and compliance
- 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 (XS-XL)
- Three-strap system
- Evenly disperses pressure and helps reduce pooling of oedema
- Ease of application
