Aircast Pneumatic Walkers – “Moon
Boots”
Aircast Pneumatic Walkers are commonly used in the treatment of Metatarsal fractures and other conditions, such as
sprained ankle, broken ankle and following ankle surgery.
What are they?
A lightweight removable plastic cast featuring a durable, semi-rigid shell to provide protection. The shell's rocker sole helps
reduce pressures through the sole of the foot, thus allowing earlier partial weight bearing.
Removable plastic casts such as the Aircast Pneumatic Walker have a distinct advantage over conventional plaster of paris
casting, in that they can be taken off to allow the patient to undertake exercises and therapy. This helps prevent stiffness
and muscle wastage, further reducing the injury healing time.
Who uses them?
Aircast Pneumatic Walkers for the treatment of foot and ankle injuries, such as sprained ankle, ankle fracture (broken
ankle), Metatarsal fracture, Lisfranc joint injury, Cuboid fracture and Talus fracture. Two different ankle heights are available
and depends on the injury that is required to be stabilized.
The Aircast Pneumatic Walker helps to prevent further damage and thus reduces injury time.
When to use them
The Aircast Pneumatic Walker provides immobilisation and support for people who have suffered a severe ankle sprain, a
foot fracture, broken ankle or following foot surgery and ankle surgery.
The Aircast Pneumatic Walker allows a greater level of mobility, allowing you to get back to work. It also greatly enhances
healing and reduces rehabilitation time, allowing you to get back to your sport quicker.
Speed your recovery and enhance your quality of life while injured by asking your doctor if you can use an Aircast
Pneumatic Walker instead of being trapped in a plaster of paris.
